I've had mild pain on the right side of my abdomen for about a month now and my doctor recommended surgery for appendicitis. Can homeopathy actually cure this or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about going under the knife if there are other treatments that might work

Homeopathy is not a proven treatment for appendicitis. Persistent mild pain in the right abdomen should be taken seriously
