What to do about incomplete intestinal obstruction

Patient's question:

A child with abdominal pain for 4 hours, vomiting once, was admitted to the hospital after the use of 654-2 showed no improvement. Physical examination: primarily periumbilical pain, otherwise negative. X-ray of colon distension, ultrasound negative. How should the expert diagnose?

Doctor's answer:

2-year-old children with incomplete intestinal obstruction may have several common causes, including intussusception, inguinal hernia with intestinal lumen entering the hernial sac, intestinal adhesions, and so on. The main symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting, and occasionally the ability to pass stools, but not smoothly. Currently, for treatment, the main measures include dietary restriction, insertion of a nasogastric tube if necessary, and insertion of an anal tube for enema. Additionally, children need to be cautious about supplementing fluids and electrolytes to prevent water, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalances. It is recommended that the current situation should be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
