How to manage intussusception in children

Children with intussusception should be sent to the hospital for treatment, including non-surgical and surgical treatments. 1. Non-surgical treatment: if the intussusception is within 48 hours and the general condition is good, non-surgical treatment can be adopted. Commonly used non-surgical treatments are air enema under ultrasound and water pressure enema. If after removing the anal tube, the abdomen is flat and soft, a lot of foul-smelling mucus blood stool and yellow fecal water are discharged, and the child no longer cries and goes to sleep soon, it suggests that the reset is successful. 2. Surgery: If the non-surgical treatment is ineffective or the intussusception is more than 48 hours, those who have intestinal necrosis or perforation should have surgery. You can choose the treatment of intussusception reset, intestinal resection anastomosis and enterostomy. If your child is diagnosed with intussusception, he or she should go to the hospital in time and be treated under the guidance of the doctor, which can mostly be cured.
