A person who may have appendicitis should never be given opioids, such as morphine or codeine, as they can mask the symptoms and make diagnosis more difficult. Additionally, medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should be avoided, as they may also obscure symptoms and potentially lead to complications. It's essential to seek medical evaluation promptly rather than self-medicating.
