Hi doctor. After 2 weeks of appendectomy, my father could not eat, had to put a nasogastric tube. Doctor let me ask if my father's condition is so dangerous? Looking forward to consulting your doctor help me. Thank you.

Hi doctor! May I ask, after putting the nasogastric tube for a while, the mouth is now able to eat, can I remove the nasogastric tube? Thank you doctor.

In fact, there are many newborns who cannot eat or drink by mouth and need to be fed by nasogastric tube. This method of nasogastric tube placement for newborns aims to bring food through the tube to the baby's stomach, and also helps to drain gas from the baby's stomach.

Gastrostomy feeding in infants is a way to provide breast milk or formula directly into the baby's stomach. This is a relatively physiologically appropriate way of nutritional support when it is not possible to ensure that the baby absorbs the necessary amount of milk through the mouth.
