After an enema for intussusception in toddlers, you need to go for a follow-up abdominal ultrasound, check the stool, and eat a light diet.
The first thing you need to do after an enema is to check the abdominal ultrasound to see if the repositioning is complete.
Secondly, we should check the child’s bowel movement, observe whether the black stool is discharged, and let the child fast before the bowel movement, fasting for about 4 hours to 6 hours.
After 6 hours, the child can eat a small amount of liquid diet, and if there is no obvious vomiting or abdominal pain, the child can start to eat a semi-liquid diet. At the later stage, eat some light and easy-to-digest food, do not give your baby spicy, greasy, high-fat food.
After your child has had an enema for intussusception, if he or she vomits or cries again, go to the hospital for a follow-up appointment in time to avoid delay.
