A member asked:
23 mo gtube fed boy has had very distended belly for a week. it feels like it's full of air-not hard. and his button is stinky. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Assessment: Have his GTube assessed, it may need to be changed and the area examined for infection. I'm not sure why he has extra air in his stomach but there are numerous causes and he can be assessed for that also. All the best.
