Chapter 120: Crying Child

"I seem to have said too much." Wu Xiangdong shook his head helplessly. Although such unspeakable things are commonplace for doctors in their general surgery department, they are indeed quite embarrassing sometimes.

However, as the girl left, the clinic returned to its previous calmness, which was in sharp contrast to the noisy sounds outside.

In fact, compared with internal medicine, the surgical outpatient department sees fewer patients. After all, acute abdominal injuries caused by injuries from injuries are generally treated by surgeons in the emergency department.

If the situation is more complicated, you will basically be admitted to the hospital first and then undergo relevant examinations, surgeries, etc.

Therefore, for doctors who are on duty in the surgical outpatient department, they don’t have much to do in the whole day, which is a small benefit.

However, this was a bit torturous for Wu Xiangdong. At this time, he was even looking forward to the patient's visit.

After all, he was the only one in the empty room. Wu Xiangdong sat here and yawned, his eyes were sore and painful, and his vision was a little blurry.

He had no choice but to wash his face with water over and over again to prevent himself from appearing too groggy.

Just as he was wiping his face, there was a sudden burst of footsteps in the corridor.

"Doctor, doctor, come and see my child."

With a bang, the door of the clinic where Wu Xiangdong was located was slammed open from the outside.

I saw a burly man rushing in first, followed closely by a petite woman, who was holding a baby in her arms.

The baby looked to be only eight or nine months old and was crying non-stop. The adults looked at his appearance and were obviously too anxious to know what to do.

"Don't worry, let me see how the child is doing."

The posture in front of him made Wu Xiangdong's heart suddenly lift. He cheered up and immediately asked the adults to put the child in his arms on the examination bed.

At this time, the child's mother was shaking all over, and it was the child's father who took the baby out of her arms.

"Doctor, for some reason our child hasn't eaten anything in the past two days and has been crying all the time."

The father gently caressed the child's body with his palms, his eyes filled with anxiety: "He seems to have been having a fever, and there is a big bulge on his belly. Could it be that he has something bad?"

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? How could there be something wrong with our child? Don't talk nonsense." After hearing his father's description, Wu Xiangdong didn't react, and the mother beside him yelled.

Although she is petite, when faced with her husband who is several heads taller than her, she directly scolds her without any mercy.

"Don't be anxious. I'm just describing the child's recent situation to the doctor, and I didn't say that he has any problems." The man was also a little anxious, so he spoke loudly.

"The child has become like this, and you still have the energy to talk back. You are working outside every day, and you don't care about anything at home." When the man was angry, the woman was so aggrieved that she almost cried.

The quarrel in the clinic also attracted the attention of patients waiting for treatment in the corridor outside. They all poked their heads here to see what was going on inside.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, and the child in their arms was crying so hard that he couldn't breathe, Wu Xiangdong's face immediately sank when he saw this: "The child is still sick. If anything happens, you can talk about it when you go home."

Sure enough, as soon as the child was mentioned, the two parties immediately stopped arguing. Looking at their concerned eyes, Wu Xiangdong said nothing more and focused all his attention on the child.

While comforting the child, he began to check the child's abdominal condition.

"The abdomen is soft, non-tender, and there is no jammy stool. Intussusception is ruled out."

Wu Xiangdong's mind quickly flashed through the abdominal pain symptoms related to infants and young children, but none of them matched the situation of the baby in front of him.

"The child is crying so hard because he is an instinctive reaction to pain. Now his intestines are bulging and he may have intestinal obstruction."

Wu Xiangdong frowned, and as soon as his fingers touched the baby's intestines, the baby started crying.

The crying appearance immediately made the child's parents nervous. They quickly asked Wu Xiangdong: "Doctor, why does my child keep crying? What is the reason?"

Faced with the inquiry, Wu Xiangdong did not rush to reply. He carefully touched the child's bulging intestine, but his brows became more and more frowned.

When the child's parents saw this, they were so frightened that they dared not speak out. You must know that when seeing a doctor, they are most afraid of the doctor's expression being serious and not saying a word.

This most likely means something is wrong and further inspection is needed.

Seeing their nervous expressions, Wu Xiangdong also asked in a deep voice: "What have you given your children to eat these days?"

As soon as these words came out, the child's mother was startled. She quickly said: "Doctor, is there something wrong with what you eat?"

"I haven't given him anything to eat in the past few days. I just read a parenting book and said that children aged seven or eight months should not just breastfeed, so I added some complementary foods to him."

"Like rice porridge, egg yolks, pork liver, fish, vegetables, carrots, spinach, apples, bananas..."

The mother of the child knew everything about her family and told Wu Xiangdong all the complementary foods the child had received in the past two days.

"Doctor, I just added this food to the child. Do you think which food made the child sick?"

Hearing this, Wu Xiangdong almost choked on his own saliva. He looked at the chubby baby in front of him and was speechless. His expression made the child's mother even more frightened.

She quickly grabbed Wu Xiangdong's hand and said anxiously: "Doctor, can you tell me what happened to the child? Will he be okay?"

"Don't worry yet." Faced with the woman's eager eyes, Wu Xiangdong said, "The child's intestinal tract is bulging because he is constipated."

"Constipation?" After hearing this, the woman was immediately confused: "Can he be constipated at such a young age?"

"Of course." The woman's ignorance almost made Wu Xiangdong laugh angrily: "The baby's stomach is not well developed. If you feed him so many things at once, can his stomach digest it?"

Wu Xiangdong's words made the woman feel a little embarrassed, "Doctor, I just want him to eat more so that he can grow taller, but it turned out to be self-defeating."

"This is all my fault. Can you tell me what to do? He is still so young, so he can't get sick because of me." As the woman spoke, tears began to flow from her eyes.

"Don't be anxious first." Seeing the woman weeping in distress, Wu Xiangdong said quickly: "The child's main pain now is holding in feces. The bulging intestines are also caused by the imperfect development of the intestines and the accumulation of feces. You can go home

Buy him some dragon fruit on the way, and the constipation problem can be solved within half an hour after eating."

"Really? Thank you, doctor. I have to learn a lot of things. After all, I have never raised a child before." When the woman saw that there was nothing serious about the child, she immediately let out a sigh of relief, and then kept thanking Wu Xiangdong.
