Question
Why does an infant still cry and be fussy after intussusception surgery?
Answer
Enema is a method of treating intussusception, and although many children recover after enema treatment, some cases may not be completely cured. If the infant continues to cry and be distressed after surgery, it may indicate that there are still problems. Since intussusception can cause damage to the intestinal mucosa, even after recovery, the infant may still feel discomfort. Additionally, there is a possibility of recurrence. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to seek further advice from experts at a higher-level hospital. In some cases, even without intestinal obstruction, adhesions may exist, but they may not require special treatment.
