[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. Read the history and understood your problem. You are in the hospital for 11 days now and that the barium is stuck in the intestines from the last week and hence the CT scan can not be done. Tried laxatives, enemas, there is so much of the pain too. I would advise in such a situation the following:-Continue the treatment for pain in abdomen as before. -You have not mentioned the report of the Barium studies as this might have shown something positive. -If there is no suspicion about diverticulitis or appendicitis or Enteric fever-typhoid or any intestinal severe inflammatory process the following thing is to be done:For cleaning the barium from the intestines, one need to give the patient a cathartic which Chat Doctor. This will surely help to clear the bowel off the barium. Nothing to worry. Once a Ct scan has been done get treated as per the reports.
