What should be done if suffering from congenital megacolon?

Patient's question:

A child who is one and a half months old has congenital megacolon. The doctor said it can only be operated on after three or four months. Can it be done now?

Doctor's answer:

The child has been diagnosed with congenital microcolon. Conservative treatment through enema can be initially administered, followed by surgical intervention after the baby is three months old. In this case, it is recommended to change the antibiotic, provide symptomatic treatment, and conduct further examinations. The choice of medication should be based on the type of infectious bacteria, while attention should also be paid to strengthening symptomatic and supportive treatment to correct issues such as hypoxia.
