Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Some “DOs” and “DONTs” for
APPENDICITIS
DO
- learn the warning signals that may mean
mean appendicitis! The first sign of acute
appendicitis is usually pain in the abdomen
accompanied by nausea or vomiting.
The pain may be general at first, like a simple
stomach-ache, but will probably become
localized in the lower right side. It can be a
sharp severe pain or a dull ache. Symptoms
sometimes vary, so any persistent, puzzling
"stomach-ache" should have prompt medical
attention.
DO
- call your physician at once when
such warnings appear! Appendicitis sometimes
is difficult to diagnose. Your doctor may
need to take blood counts or make other tests.
Calling him promptly permits him to make
such tests and to determine the proper treatment
before serious damage has occurred.
Appendicitis now takes only about half as
many lives as it took 12 years ago. More lives
could be saved if everyone called a doctor at
the first sign of an attack.
DON’T
- treat yourself with home remedies!
If you have an abdominal pain and are nauseated,
avoid taking a laxative or enema. They
may cause the appendix to rupture.
A study of appendicitis in one Eastern city
showed that when appendicitis patients took
no laxative, only 1 in 62 died. Of those who
took a laxative, 1 in 19 died.
External pressure can also cause a rupture,
so you shouldn't rub or massage the site of
the pain. And it's wiser not to apply either a
hot water bottle or an ice bag.
DON’T
- try to keep going normally if you
suspect appendicitis. Any physical exertion or
exercise may lead to complications, so lie down,
in bed if possible, and stay there.
The pain may let up but this does not mean
the attack has passed. It's up to you to keep
quiet and relaxed until the doctor comes.
Food and liquids can also be dangerous. Try
to avoid eating or drinking anything, except
water, until your doctor has examined you.
