What should be done if a child has a intestinal perforation?

Patient's question:

A one-year-old and four-month-old child with intestinal perforation

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal gastrointestinal perforation is a serious disease that can be life-threatening to newborns. There are many causes of perforation, such as neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, defects in the muscle layer of the stomach and intestinal walls, local ischemia of the gastrointestinal tract, peptic ulcer perforation, and iatrogenic diseases. Surgical treatment should be performed. The child is at risk due to neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to seek medical treatment promptly and avoid blindly using small advertisements for drugs. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is essential to pay timely attention to the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive prompt treatment for the disease.
