Revising Paediatric Gastroenterology
Paediatric gastroenterology questions test how common gut problems present in children and when to worry. Key themes are neonatal jaundice (physiological, pathological and prolonged), assessing dehydration in gastroenteritis, constipation, pyloric stenosis, intussusception and the surgical causes of bilious vomiting.
Start with the child's age and hydration. Age alone separates many conditions (pyloric stenosis in the first weeks of life, intussusception later in infancy), and the degree of dehydration sets how urgent the right answer is.
