Question
The newborn doesn’t know what’s wrong, there are always red spots on the body, and it keeps vomiting. How should I deal with the recurrence of Hirschsprung’s disease?
Answer
The recurrence of Hirschsprung’s disease requires surgical treatment, but it is important to first differentiate between congenital Hirschsprung’s disease and sporadic Hirschsprung’s disease. If it is congenital Hirschsprung’s disease, the key to treatment is not only to remove the dilated segment of the intestine but also to remove the segment with aganglionic stricture at the distal end, and then reconstruct the continuity of the intestine. Since the newborn is vulnerable to neonatal diseases, the mother should take the child to a doctor immediately for treatment, avoid using unverified over-the-counter medications, and use medication rationally. It is also important to observe the child’s symptoms closely to help treat the disease in a timely manner.
