Seek ER care!: This is a very dangerous and painful condition that could lead to bowel necrosis and peritonitis. See a pediatric surgeon asap in the er!

Confusing question: Once recognised, an intussusception needs to be reduced(fixed), either hydrostatically by the radiologists using water pressure or surgically. If this has not been done, you need to take him in now and have it fixed.These kids would not leave the hospital in the us without further urgent treatment.
