Can a child go down with appendix problems just as an adult can?!

Speaking from experience: Spherocytosis is more common in children than adults!. It runs in my family!. My grandmother had hers removed at the age of 4, my mom and aunt had theirs removed at 5 and me and all my female cousins had ours removed at the age of 3!. My daughter is now 5 and is being monitored very carefully for this condition!. If your son is having the pains, and if his belly is sore and distended, you need to take him to the Emergency room IMMEDIATELY and do not let up until they check him out thoroughly!.
Good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
