Intussusception is the insertion of a section of intestine into an adjacent section of intestine, resulting in intestinal obstruction and obstruction.
What are the consequences?
If the intussusception lasts for 1-2 days, the intestinal blood circulation of intussusception is blocked, and the intussusception becomes tighter and tighter with intestinal peristalsis, leading to ischemic necrosis and perforation, which endangers the baby's life.
Intussusception? I didn't know what it was at first, until a weekend afternoon five months ago …

13 month old baby vomited once. It doesn't matter. He is in good spirits. He doesn't cry or make trouble.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the baby vomited while sleeping, and the food spilled all over the bed. Dad Bao and I washed her hair, took a bath and fed her some milk.
After a while, I vomited again, and then I vomited even after drinking water, four or five times in a row …
It was cold, and we prepared plastic bags to collect vomit for testing, but the situation was still quite serious. Then we decided to take it to a hospital, a regular hospital.

/kloc-arrive at a hospital after 0/9: 00, queue up for registration, and there are not many people who are raining. I told the situation to a female doctor. No fever, no cough or vomiting. It's been four or five times in these two hours.
After listening to the chest and back, the female doctor told the baby to lie down and touch his stomach. After touching it carefully for a long time, he said it should be "intussusception" with a hard pimple.
I heard it for the first time and confirmed it with the doctor many times. She told me to go to the children's hospital quickly, so I didn't have to continue the examination here, which delayed the time.
I asked her nervously, is it serious? She said: ventilation is good at first, and surgery is needed later.
Hearing this sentence, we are not so nervous. In the fog, we quickly took a taxi to the children's hospital. My heart is relatively calm, and many incurable diseases are cured in children's hospitals. What are we afraid of?

I went straight to the emergency department of gastroenterology. There are not many people because of the unpopularity. There are very few outpatients except for the long queue for pre-examination. A young male doctor looked at our baby and said easily: The B-ultrasound room is closed, so I have to go to Cellula for a stool examination and take a film to make a definite diagnosis.
We agreed to pay the fee and get the medicine. Generally, intussusception stool will bring blood, but the stool test results are good.
When taking an X-ray, the photographer asked him if he had a bad stomach. I think there's something wrong.
During the period, the baby's spirit was ok, but he vomited many times. He wanted to drink water and eat, so he gave her the milk he bought for his sister.

After the report came out, the male doctor said nothing, but did not dare to rule out the possibility of intussusception. If you don't vomit, let's rule it out by B-ultrasound tomorrow morning.
Well, all right! We all breathed a sigh of relief and felt a false alarm. Father holds the little one and I pull the big one. Along the way, we feel that now the hospital is seeing a doctor, and instruments have become the main thing. Without instruments, it seems that many things are not confirmed, but it can also be understood as being responsible for patients.
But before we walked out of the hospital, the baby vomited a lot and sprayed …
In this scene, my legs are weak, my heart is shaking, and many sympathetic eyes are shooting at us …

Dad Bao quickly took the child to the doctor. As soon as the doctor saw it, he quickly opened the list of air enema, saying that the child would be more painful.
As soon as I listen to my child, I feel extremely distressed. Is there any other way? Shook his head and said, if it is intussusception, if not, it is the feeling of abdominal distension.
There is an old woman in the consulting room who came to see a doctor with her grandson. She hesitated to see me and said in a hurry, let's go. This intussusception hurts, but it doesn't hurt no matter how much it hurts!
The pace is so fast that we have no time to think and look up information …

We went to the radiotherapy room nonstop. Because of the radiation, the boss was told to wait in front of the computer next to the doctor, and Bao Dad and I stayed inside.
The doctor told us to wear radiation protection suits, then moved a big machine and put a small plastic pipe in the little guy's ass.
Dad is holding the baby's thigh and little ass, and I have been comforting her on her head. It seems useless. She cried and didn't notice me at all.
The doctor went out to operate in front of the computer. It took three minutes to confirm it was intussusception, and at this time, the little guy was about to cry.

Come out and show it to the attending doctor It agreed to go! We just went out with something and the baby vomited again, so we had to see the doctor again.
He said the baby was not feeling well. He can't eat for six hours, so he walks more.
I asked: How did it happen? A: There are many reasons, such as the change of environment, the alternation of seasons, food, changing milk powder and so on. It is easy to get this problem under two years old, and it is easy to relapse. If you still throw up, remember to come over.
I am speechless about this doctor. I can't eat for six hours. Why didn't you say so earlier? You are the best hospital. We believe you.
But this should be asked and answered, so don't ask, don't say it. Fortunately, we are very close. What if we come from other places? It won't delay things.

In the early morning, we dragged our tired bodies home. I fell asleep and felt a little hot. I measured 39.4℃
Take the antipyretic, Merrill Lynch.
When I get up in the morning, it's still 39.4℃
Merrill Lynch had to take a shower to cool down after six hours. There is still a lot of meat on the baby at this time.
In the afternoon, we took the baby to the hospital A where intussusception was found, and told the doctor about the situation. We had four or five watery stools in the morning. The doctor said that diarrhea was normal after enema, but the fever was abnormal.
So I checked the blood routine and found that there were many bacteria, so I prescribed cephalosporins and probiotics.
After coming back, I went to bed and took antipyretics twice to cool down.
I have a lot of watery stools at night. ...
Take a diaper, pants and sheets!
The baby is not in good spirits now, and he has lost a lot of weight overnight.

On the third day after intussusception reduction
The fever is gone, and the baby is sleeping from morning till night. He can't eat anything except some grandma's. It's still a green egg-shaped watery stool, but it's only once today, and I'm happy to get well, but I vomited again when I was given some soup at night, which was very uncomfortable.
When I bathed my baby at night, I found that my body had nothing but skin and bones.
I understand now that children will suffer more, especially in the later stage …

The fourth day of reset
The little guy kept whining when he was still nursing at night. I fed him for a while and then …
I vomited at two o'clock in the morning, my limbs were weak and my stomach hurt!
When I got up in the morning, my boss was sent to school by Bao Da, and my second son was crying with his hair cut. He doesn't eat or drink, so poor.
I guess I still have a stomachache. I'm afraid it's on again! We quickly took her to the children's hospital again, and called to see the gastroenterology department in advance.
Queue for a long time, that crowded, we queued from morning to afternoon, and the B-ultrasound showed that we were no longer sleepy. In addition to blood routine, there was another one, acidosis and severe dehydration.
This pediatrician is very good and careful. He gave us an intravenous drip. After dripping water, he checked the blood and gave us a potion the next day. (I have to say, the hanging water area of children's hospital is really comfortable, humanized and efficient. )
After two drops, we'll be fine. The doctor told us we must take good care of it. Once the baby is intussuscepted, it is easy to fold it up for the second time.
Fortunately, I found it early and went to the hospital in time. If I delay for one day, the consequences will be unimaginable. It can only be surgically removed, so there will be too many unpredictable things.

The process of parents raising children, the process of self-growth. After this time, we looked up a lot of information and learned a lot …
Early symptoms of intussusception
(1) Abdominal pain? As an early symptom, a normal and healthy baby suddenly has severe and regular paroxysmal abdominal pain without any inducement.
(2) vomiting? Reflex vomiting occurred shortly after onset.
(3) blood in the stool? It often occurs 6 ~ 12 hours after illness, which is one of the characteristics of this disease, and often shows dark red jam-like stool.
(4) Abdominal mass?
The location of tumor depends on the insertion point and degree, and is generally located in ascending colon, transverse colon and descending colon.
(5) general situation? At the beginning of the disease, the whole body condition of the sick child is still good, and the body temperature is normal, except for pale face, poor spirit, loss of appetite or refusal to eat. With the prolongation of the onset time, the general condition becomes more and more serious, with symptoms such as listlessness, lethargy, dehydration, fever, abdominal distension and even shock or peritonitis. 1, X-ray showed signs of intestinal obstruction. ? 2.b-ultrasound showed intussusception mass.
Five measures to prevent intussusception in children
1. Pay attention to scientific feeding at ordinary times, and don't be too hungry or too full. It is best to eat on time and in quantity to prevent children from being overweight or hungry.
2. Add complementary food step by step. Don't be too hasty, in case the child's immature gastrointestinal tract can't adapt to the sudden change of food.
Clothes should be increased or decreased at any time according to climate change. It is necessary to prevent children from being stimulated by environmental changes such as cold and heat at home, causing gastrointestinal peristalsis.
4. Scientifically repel insects under the guidance of a doctor, and don't abuse insect repellent without authorization, so as to avoid all kinds of bad incentives that can easily induce intestinal peristalsis.
5. Infants with intussusception may relapse if they are affected by unfavorable factors. Therefore, don't think that children with intussusception are negligent.
Recalling that I really went back to my hometown before the onset, the environment changed and I didn't pay attention to my diet, which led to dry stool and hard work after my child came back. I regret my carelessness.
It is not easy for parents to cope with all kinds of emergencies. I wish you and your children peace and health.
