As soon as the baby's stomach is uncomfortable, he loves to cry and make trouble, and he can't sleep well at night!
Mothers with popular science knowledge may think that there is a problem with the baby's stomach!
Flatulence, colic, and even intussusception!
Flatulence, intestinal colic is like an annoying essence, often harassing the baby, but the intussusception is a hot-tempered lord, a word will kill, the key is not easy to distinguish!
So what's the difference? Only by clarifying these three points can we suffer less sin on the road with our babies!
There are newborns and small babies at home, please take good notes, remember the first attention to the collection!
Intestinal colic is more common shortly after the baby is born and will gradually resolve after 4 months; flatulence is more common in babies within 1 year of age;
Intussusception occurs in children under 2 years of age.
Specific symptoms and whether to seek medical treatment or not, The Department of Science and Technology has sorted out the form for everyone to save and view!

It should be noted here that some children have atypical intussusception or the typical symptoms appear late.
Some careful parents feel that the child's face is white, the face is a little painful, and if it is not right, it is sent to the hospital, and the result is confirmed to be intussusception.
Some children are vomiting, or a little blood in the stool, there are no other symptoms, and it is easy to miss them without careful examination.
During the onset of intussusception pain, children may present relatively normally without abdominal pain.
Therefore, its initial manifestations can indeed be confused with gastroenteritis, and over time, the onset of abdominal pain and vomiting will become more and more frequent and more severe, and some children will gradually appear drowsy and gradually worsen.
There are also parents who are relatively unfamiliar with intussusception, and the following section is big and more detailed!
In simple terms, intussusception, like "sleeve folding up" leads to narrow sleeves, so that blood can not flow, after the intussus, there will be ischemia, followed by intestinal necrosis, rupture, and even peritonitis.

The whole process will be very painful.
Friends who have played snakes know that the more they accumulate, the faster they die, so the more intestines are put together, the greater the chance of necrosis!
Intussusception usually occurs at 6 to 36 months of age, and about 60% of children with intussusception are less than 1 year old and 80% to 90% are under 2 years of age.
Generally, fatter babies are easy to recruit, and the incidence of boys is slightly higher than that of girls.
And the onset of the disease can occur throughout the year, and the high incidence period is from March to May, which may be related to the susceptibility of children to upper respiratory tract infections and their susceptibility to adenovirus during this period.
In addition, intussusception is also easily confused with "eating bad stomach" or "gastroenteritis", which requires physical examination and improvement of relevant tests to identify it.
In the news, this baby vomited more badly, and after the examination, he directly entered the rescue room, which was enough to see how dangerous the intussusception was!
Therefore, when the child has a baby crying, vomiting, bloody stool, it is best to send to the hospital in time, and the golden rescue time for the disease is 24 hours.
There are also often misdiagnoses or missed diagnoses in outpatient clinics, so it is best to ask the doctor to do a B ultrasound examination after sending to the doctor!
There are also some children who have small intussusception and will recover on their own. If the self-unwinding is unsuccessful, it is generally handled in two cases:
(1) Non-surgical treatment: air enema
Adapted to the onset of the disease < 48 hours, the whole body condition is still good, the radiologist will do air enema for the baby, that is, to pump or water in the baby's ass, relying on the pressure of gas or water to flush out the intestines that have been drilled into, and very few will have intestinal perforation.
More than 90% can be cured, and there will be no recurrence.
If the intestines are stuck very tight and cannot be rushed out, or if they are stuck for a long time and have intestinal necrosis, they cannot rush, only surgery.
(2) Surgical treatment:
Generally, the onset > 48 hours, and the child has mental malaise, severe bloating, high fever, etc., or a child who has failed an enema, and needs emergency surgery.
Secondary intussusception, or significant intestinal obstruction, < 3 months of age, air and water pressure enema can not be reduced also need surgery.
Post-operation nursing methods, but also for everyone to sort out a table, according to the following 4 points of nursing, the baby can get better quickly!
Some parents also asked, can this disease be prevented? Absolutely!
Although the cause of the current intussusception is not very clear, parents can do the following 5 points to prevent it, so that the baby is less recruited!
(1) Usually pay attention to scientific feeding, do not be too hungry, nor can it be too full, it is best to eat on time and in quantity to prevent children from carrying too much burden on the gastrointestinal tract or hunger and discomfort.
At the same time, pay attention to hand hygiene to minimize the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections.
Breastfeeding parents should also pay attention to breastfeeding hygiene and strictly prevent diseases from entering the mouth.
(2) The addition of complementary foods should be gradual, do not be too hasty, in case the gastrointestinal tract of children that have not yet developed well cannot adapt to sudden changes in food.
(3) It is necessary to increase or decrease clothes at any time according to changes in climate, so as to avoid children being stimulated by environmental changes such as cold and heat, causing gastrointestinal peristalsis disorders.
(4) Under the guidance of a physician, scientific deworming, do not abuse deworming drugs without authorization, and avoid various undesirable factors that are easy to induce intestinal peristalsis disorders.
(5) Infants and young children who have suffered from intussusception may recur old diseases if they encounter adverse factors, so do not think that children who have suffered from intussusception are negligent.
Babies with recurrent intussusception should further refine the test to exclude basic conditions such as Meckel diverticulum, polyps, and repetitive intestinal cysts.
Speaking of this, I believe that everyone has an understanding of intussusception, and the Department of Science and Technology has two more sentences, once it is found that the child has intussusception symptoms, the child should be immediately taken to the doctor for medical treatment, so as not to delay the disease!
