My abdominal pain increased within a few days, and within a few hours, it became so high that I reached out for medical help. I consulted Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, and immediately the doctor diagnosed me with appendicitis and suggested that I undergo surgery. Thankfully the surgery was quite quick, and I was able to recover within a couple of days. Thank you so much, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, for helping me come out of the pain.
