The most obvious symptom of intestinal obstruction in pediatric patients is paroxysmal colic, which is characterized by crying and repeated episodes. Children may also experience vomiting, bloody stools, abdominal masses and other clinical manifestations.
Pediatric intestinal obstruction is a pediatric disease in which the intestinal contents are unable to pass through the intestines for any reason, and can be caused by congenital megacolon, intussusception, and so on.
The main manifestation of pediatric intestinal obstruction is abdominal pain, which is usually a sudden onset of severe regular paroxysmal colic in previously healthy infants, lasting for 10-20 minutes and then relieving, with a 5-10 minute interval and then recurring. It is due to involvement of the mesentery.
The diagnosis is confirmed in all healthy infants and children with sudden onset of paroxysmal abdominal pain or paroxysmal regular crying, vomiting, blood in the stool and palpable abdominal mass.
Parents should pay special attention when the above symptoms occur in children. Pediatric acute intestinal obstruction is a serious and life-threatening condition, and should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delays.
