Patient's question:
Main symptoms: Abdominal painOnset date: October 8, 2009

Doctor's answer:
Fever is commonly seen in cases of severe pneumonia, intestinal infections, peritonitis, and sepsis, which lead to intestinal paralysis and affect the patient. The intestinal obstruction caused by this condition is more prevalent in infants. In other words, when a child, especially an infant, is suffering from a severe illness, in addition to fever and the symptoms of the primary condition, if typical symptoms of intestinal obstruction reappear, it should be approached with high caution to avoid missing the opportunity for timely treatment. For cases of intestinal obstruction secondary to severe infections accompanied by fever, clinical diagnosis should focus on treating the primary condition as the foundation, which means adopting non-surgical therapies such as anti-inflammatory treatment, fever reduction, and body temperature control. Simultaneously, fasting, gastrointestinal detoxification, and acupuncture at the San Li Ren point should be administered.
