Neonatal intestinal obstruction is a disease that cannot be ignored

For every new mother, every move of the newborn touches the hearts of parents. For children who cannot speak, intestinal obstruction should not be ignored. Because intestinal obstruction in newborns can cause symptoms such as fever and intestinal infection, severe cases are more likely to be infected with pneumonia and cause sepsis. Intestinal obstruction in newborns is more often caused by external factors and is closely related to food, so try not to let newborns suffer from indigestion.

First of all, for simple intestinal obstruction, intestinal obstruction without blood circulation disorder or incomplete intestinal obstruction, non-surgical methods such as fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, fluid replacement, and anti-infection can be used to correct water and electrolyte disorders, or enema can be used to stimulate the intestines and promote defecation. If the symptoms do not improve after the above treatment, or even worsen and tend towards complete intestinal obstruction, timely surgical treatment should be performed to remove the cause of intestinal obstruction and restore intestinal patency.

Secondly, after intestinal obstruction occurs, do not feed blindly. The child should first fast with water to reduce abdominal distension, choose a semi-recumbent position, closely observe changes in the condition, and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If it is adhesive intestinal obstruction, do not eat hard food during the remission period, and mainly eat semi-fluid food. Ascaris intestinal obstruction should be treated with anthelmintic treatment after remission.

Finally, experts believe that food hygiene should be maintained first. Unclean food can not only cause acute gastroenteritis, but also intestinal obstruction. If acute gastroenteritis is severe, repeated diarrhea can also cause "paralytic ileus". Also, avoid strenuous exercise after a full meal to prevent intestinal torsion. Clinically, it is found that intestinal obstruction caused by intestinal ascaris groups occurs frequently. In addition, children who eat too many peanuts and melon seeds, or eat large amounts of persimmons, bayberries and other fruits on an empty stomach can also suffer from intestinal obstruction. Prevention is especially important for children who have had intestinal obstruction or abdominal surgery. If they have poor gastrointestinal function, they can take appropriate Chinese medicine treatment to regulate their gastrointestinal function.

Here, I would like to advise all parents not to ignore intestinal obstruction in newborns, because it is related to the newborn's body temperature, body inflammation and other problems, and it also has an important impact on the newborn's gastrointestinal tract in the later stage. Therefore, only eat until you are 70% full. Don't always worry about your child's nutrition and feed him/her high-nutrition food desperately, which will also cause intestinal obstruction. Sometimes, being hungry is good for your health.
