I have mild deep probe tenderness in the RIF and a few tiny mesenteric lymph nodes found on my scan. Since I've been on antibiotics, the pain has gone away do I still need surgery for this? Also, is it okay to eat mildly spicy foods now, and what kind of diet should I follow to avoid making things worse? I really don't want to deal with appendix issues again how can I prevent this without surgery?
