Yesterday, when he first examined the child, he suspected it might be appendicitis.
But today, while pressing down on the child's abdomen, the tenderness wasn't obvious. Especially in the right lower abdomen, the tenderness had noticeably reduced.
Could it be that the child's condition improved after treatment at the hospital yesterday?
Today, measuring the child's temperature, although there was still a fever, it had dropped to 38.2 degrees. This indicated that the fever was beginning to subside.
If the anti-infection and anti-inflammatory treatments are effective, and the local lesion is controlled, the pain would indeed reduce.
However, there was no change in the child's blood pressure compared to yesterday.
He started suspecting that the child's hypertension was not directly related to this illness.
If diagnosed separately, it would obviously be much easier.
The progression of the child's symptoms seemed to him to align more with acute appendicitis.
