Patient's question:
My baby is seven and a half months old. Last night, it was discovered that he has intussusception. After undergoing an enema, he has fully recovered. However, this afternoon, he started crying uncontrollably, and even after going to the hospital, no specific cause was found, but it is obvious that he is in pain. What could be the possible reasons for this? What else should I be attentive to? Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!Past Treatment and Outcome:
Last night, an air enema was performed, which helped:
What should I be attentive to?
What are the general causes for this?
Why couldn’t the cause of the obvious abdominal pain this afternoon be identified?
Doctor's answer:
For the situation you mentioned, intussusception refers to a segment of the intestine telescoping into another part of the intestine with which it is connected, causing a blockage of intestinal contents. Medical advice: After either air enema reduction or surgical reduction, there is a possibility of recurrence of intussusception. Given that your child has again exhibited symptoms such as intermittent crying and restlessness, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a follow-up visit promptly and do not give the child anything to eat.
