Hello Joytishka, though early appendicitis may resolve with antibiotics, once you have had an episode, there is always a risk of recurrence. Acute appendicitis may present in various grades of severity. Then, It may not always respond to medicines alone and that can lead to further complications. Appendectomy (appendix removal) is usually a simple operation with quick recovery. Hope this answers your query.
