Patient's question:
The surgery for intussusception went well in all aspects, but I don't know how to care for the child after the surgery. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No particular care was given. The child will never answer, but I just want to understand how to care for the child in the future.Doctor's answer:
Intussusception is a common acute abdominal disease in infants and young children under 2 years old. The main reason why infants and young children are prone to recurrent intussusception is improper feeding, such as eating unclean food that causes intestinal dysfunction in children; the mesentery of infants and young children is too long or loose, and the cecum is unstable, wandering excessively. Suggestions: It is recommended to pay attention to the diet: feed the baby with easily digestible foods such as liquid food, fruit puree, and vegetable puree, do not overeat, and observe the baby's bowel movements carefully every day to ensure they are normal, and maintain smooth bowel movements. Carefully take care of the baby to prevent fever, and avoid gastrointestinal disorders, nausea, and vomiting.
