Hello and I am really sorry I had to write it as a non-patient. My sister in law has had ileostomy surgery last monday. All went well there, but this Sunday, she started feeling ill, vomitting with no stool passage. My wife, who is a veterinarian, knew that Odansentron can help and administered it via IV. She felt a bit better, then started to feel a bit sick, moment when she got to the ER to her medic who really knows her condition. To be mentioned that she also has desmoid tumors that can cause addhesions, but my SIL, knowing her own condition since 10 years ago, felt like there's gotta be a medical way to let the blockage go on its own. Last night, she had stool on the stoma and small bowel movement. She hasn't vomited for a few hours. Today, she realised the nurses administred Ketonal and Drotaverine 8 by 8 hours. She knows that these can cause constipation. She specifically asked to be taken off them and only be administered odansentron. The doctor was ok with it and she doesn't seem anxious about anything too much. Last night when she had stool, her abdomen was soft, today it's a bit hard again. What is your medical advice on the next step she could take?
I only want to help her as much as I can, by at least keeping myself informed. I love my wife and I know that she values her sister a lot, so I can't stay passive to this. Thank you so much for all the answers.
