When a cute baby cannot speak yet, it is the most difficult and important to pay attention to their physical health. Because during this period, the cute baby cannot speak, so they will not tell their parents where they are feeling uncomfortable. Parents need to pay attention to some of the cute baby's symptoms themselves. How many days is it easy for intussusception to recur?
1、 Intestinal intussusception is prone to recurrence within a few days
There is no time limit, children under one year old who have had intussusception once may experience it again in the future. For children who have experienced intussusception, special care should be taken when changing their diet, and they must be added slowly, little by little. If the weather is bad or the season changes, it is best not to change the food for children at this time. Because when the weather gets cold, children's intestinal peristalsis will accelerate, so it is best to change food when the weather is stable.
2、 Symptoms of intussusception
1. High risk age range: 2 months to 2 years old.
Baby performance:
Abdominal pain: The baby cries intermittently, or the baby does not cry, but their face turns white in waves;
Vomiting: often occurs simultaneously with crying and arguing. Initially reflexive, later manifested as intestinal obstruction;
Hematochezia: Jam like bloody stools appear 6-8 hours after abdominal pain;
Abdominal lump: Sometimes, a sausage like lump can be felt under the baby's rib margin.
If the baby shows the above four symptoms, the mother should think that the baby may have intussusception. However, when a baby develops symptoms, there are not many of the typical four major symptoms. Therefore, this requires the mother to be careful and patient. If she finds that the baby is crying and has knees curled up or hands gripping the abdomen, the mother should also consider the possibility of intussusception and seek medical attention in a timely manner.
2. The difference between crying and crying due to intussusception and other reasons in babies:
When a baby with intussusception cries or their face suddenly changes, their expression is very painful, but soon they will play and laugh as usual. However, after a period of time, they will cry or their face turn white again. Soon, the baby will return to normal, and this cycle will become shorter and shorter. It's difficult to calm a baby when they cry and make noise.
Babies who cry and make noise for other reasons often cry for a long time without any interval. After repeated soothing, the crying and noise will improve.
Intestinal intussusception is most likely to occur in children aged one or two, which is a problem that parents need to pay close attention to because it is likely to be confused with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and eating bad food. However, in fact, intestinal intussusception is a relatively serious disease that needs to be detected and treated early. Therefore, parents must pay special attention when their baby is one or two years old.
