[|AI|]  Hi, hole in the stomach means that your child has got an intestinal perforation. It's a very serious condition. Since your child is preterm, he is very prone to infections and perforation of stomach or intestine. This condition is closely related to Necrotizing Enterocolitis(NEC). As of now, child will have to be put on very high antibiotics and a surgery might have to be done to repair the perforation. He will have to put nil per orally and on full intravenous antibiotics. He will require continuous monitoring and admission for few weeks. Thanks and regards.
