Above the 5-year-old children, the elderly, abdominal pain is the main symptom of the disease, the beginning is Xinwo or umbilical Duntong, a few hours after the shift to the right lower abdomen, with more loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting. If it is found that children paroxysmal crying, and rejected by the abdomen, not activities, often tips abdominal pain. If the parents are found repeatedly check right abdominal tenderness fixed and obvious, for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis reliable basis. See if the child was right hip flexion state, difficulty walking his back, the spirit of wilting Mi weak, bulging belly breathing limited to resist and on, we should also take into account the possibility of acute appendicitis.
