My scan report shows mild probe tenderness in the right iliac fossa and a mildly dilated appendix at 5mm with a few enlarged lymph nodes in the RIF. It says no perforation but mentions subacute appendicitis. No kidney stones or hydronephrosis were found. Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with meds?

Subacute appendicitis with probe tenderness can sometimes be managed with antibiotics, but recurrence risk makes surgery advisable.

Dizziness and blackouts can be concerning, especially after brain tumor surgery. Hisone-5 (Prednisone 5mg) is a steroid medication, and dizziness is a possible side effect. However, blackouts are not typically associated with Prednisone. Other potential causes for her symptoms might include: - Post-surgical complications or residual effects - Medication interactions or side effects from other medications Consult her doctor or neurosurgeon to discuss these symptoms and determine the best course of action.
