Child. On Pigtail Tube To Drain Fluid. History Of Having Necrotizing Pancreatitis. Advice Diet Plan And Time To Heal
Hi, i hv a 9 yr old son who was recently discharged after nearly a month in hospital for necrotizing pancreatitis. A pigtail tube is still on him for us to drain out fluid every now and then. My question is: how long does it normally take for the fluid to drain out completely? Its been nearly a month now. And what diet should we give him? He has good appetite though. Thank you. Sardon
