Hello..what is this intussusception??what are the causes,symptoms, treatments??how is this effect on 4 years old baby..
I just gone through an article which says If your child is under age 4 and has stomach pain that causes him to double over one minute and be fine the next, it could be a sign of intussusception, a serious disorder usually affecting young kids where one part of the intestine slides into the other. The pain shows up in 20- to 60-minute increments and can be accompanied by vomiting, fever, blood in the stool, or bowel movements that have a telltale "currant jelly" appearance. "Call your doctor if your child only has severe pain," says Dr. Levine. "If there's crampiness plus signs in the stool, head straight to the hospital."
My son is having stomach pain which lasts just for a min and it goes in it's own from past 2 months..I already consulted dr and have used medication

Intususception may be transient...such intususception resolve by themselves.
But many a times they can lead to bowel gangrene and must be operated before hand.
But definitely not something to take light, and definitely online consultation is not enough.
Visit a pediatric surgeon at the earliest so that he can guide you regarding what is the status of your child.
Hi.
Don’t stress yourself by reading unwanted stuff and applying that on your family. Trust your doctor as he has seen the baby and recommended medications.
