I've been having pain on the right side of my abdomen and the scan showed no appendicitis but mentioned tenderness in RIF. I'm almost done with my antibiotic course and the pain has reduced, but I still feel a slight ache when lying on my back or sideways. Do I need surgery or can this be treated with medication? Also, would unani medicine help in this case?

While your pain has improved with antibiotics, the persistent ache in the right iliac fossa (RIF) warrants further evaluation. It's possible the issue is not just an infection, but could be related to other conditions like Crohn's disease or diverticulitis, which can present with similar symptoms. Unani medicine may offer some complementary approaches, but it's important to discuss this with your doctor and integrate it with conventional treatment.
