Question
What to Do If a Baby Still Cries After Intussusception Surgery
Answer
Hello; Intussusception is a serious condition, and enema is one of the treatment methods. Many cases improve after enema, but some do not, so it’s important to monitor the baby’s condition after treatment. If the baby continues to cry and cannot be comforted by usual means, there may be other issues. Due to the injury to the intestinal mucosa caused by intussusception, discomfort may persist even after recovery, and there is a possibility of recurrence. In such cases, it is recommended to consult with a superior hospital for further diagnosis. If there is only adhesion without obstruction, no special treatment is necessary.
