Question
What should be done for a one-year-old and four-month-old child with intestinal perforation?
Answer
Neonatal gastrointestinal perforation is a life-threatening serious condition, which may be caused by necrotizing enterocolitis, intestinal wall defects, regional ischemia, perforation of peptic ulcers, and iatrogenic diseases. Treatment should involve surgical intervention. For children affected by neonatal diseases, parents should immediately take their child to the hospital, avoid self-administering medication, and use medication as directed. Additionally, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition to facilitate timely treatment.
