A child with perianal abscess was admitted half a month ago, and the treatment process was rather interesting, so today I would like to write it out for my friends to learn from. The child was a little girl, 1 year old, with a perianal swelling for more than half a year, painful, and occasionally breaking down and flowing pus. She was diagnosed with perianal abscess and was admitted to the hospital for surgical treatment. During the operation, the skin on the surface of the swelling was incised, and a small amount of pus was found, among which was a foreign body – a date palm. After removing the foreign body, a suturing procedure was performed according to anal fistula. After further questioning of the medical history, it was considered that the child had swallowed the date kernels together with the dates during the Spring Festival, and the kernels had punctured the intestinal wall at the end of the rectum, resulting in a local infection that persisted for a long time. The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anorectal Disease Treatment Center Zhou Yan Yang has not encountered the above situation in more than ten years of practice and experience. Parents should also pay attention when feeding through their children.
