Appendicitis treatment without surgery is possible in three scenarios. 1. An obstruction in your appendix gets unstuck and passes on through your intestine on its own, or if an infection that was causing lymphoid hyperplasia in your appendix improves and resolves on its own. 2. Antibiotic intervention at the right time (mild to moderate cases) has obviated the need for surgery. As per Medicinenet 88% of antibiotic-related patients have recovered from an appendectomy. 3. In alternative treatment, 'well selected constitutional homeopathic medicines in initial stages can manage successfully this condition without surgery' says Dr. Gopi.
