Hi my daughter 13 years got opperated for appendicitis (open surgery) 10 days ago. Since the appendicitis was not in the normal place the cut was a bit long. After 10 days we have noticed a very tiny drop like yellowish thin fluid coming out of the cut in one particular place. Please advise why and what precaution to be taken.

Hi, my friend has just had an emergency appendectomy and I noticed he had been drinking profusely for about 3weeks prior to the incident. He is a heavy drinker at the age of 20 and increased his alcohol intake lately to a phenomenal amount. Would this have had any effect on his development of acute appendicitis. I have found lots of articles on the link between smoking and appendicitis, but not alcohol consumption.
