Hello everyone,
Is there an alternative to F75 if child can't tolerate the formula, patient 26 months has bilateral odema +++ ( swelling in the face,legs and feet)no fever but vomits/spits out the F75.Refuses to drink the formula.
How can this case be managed?
Kindly assist.

Hi Charity,
when you say the child can’t tolerate the F75, I assume that this just means he refuses it as you describe. In that case insert a nasogastric tube and feed the appropriate amount of F75 for severe oedema cases according to the normal schedule.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for the reply but because it's a small facility we don't have nastoligic tubes is there no other option.

Hola Caridad, saludos Pablo.
Una opción válida y fácil es la administración de F75 a través de gotero, cuchara o jeringa. Espero sea de ayuda.
