Question
My child has had abdominal distension for a week, accompanied by vomiting and abdominal pain. After undergoing ultrasound and abdominal X-ray exams, it was diagnosed with intestinal gas and intestinal obstruction. How should it be handled?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with intestinal obstruction, gases and food cannot pass normally through the intestines. This leads to the accumulation of excessive gas in the intestines, accompanied by symptoms such as vomiting and abdominal pain. It is recommended to try enema treatment to help expel the gas in the intestines and promote defecation. Lastly, wishing the patient a swift recovery and a return to a healthy life.
