Intussesception

Not uncommon in 6 months to 1 ½ year old children. The baby is listless and not themselves. It is a condition where the intestines telescope inside of themselves causing waves of pain. It is an emergency. Give the baby some fluids and antibiotics. It can often be fixed without surgery. You need a pediatric radiologist and a surgeon available in case other measures do not work. The condition often does not reoccur once resolved.
