A two-year-old boy died just four days after being diagnosed with constipation in the UK, and a medical accident was suspected. This is because the cause of death is presumed to be sepsis caused by urinary tract infection.

According to the BBC and other foreign media, the family of Hudson Cole Perrins, 2, who lives in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, visited a hospital as their child felt pain as he touched the bottom of his stomach.

The medical staff received a suppository prescription and an enema, saying that the child's stomach seemed to be constipation due to the hardness of the child's stomach.




However, the medical staff was discharged from the hospital even though the child did not have bowel movements.

The next day, the family visited the hospital again because the child was still in pain and even showed signs of seizures.

The medical staff transferred the child to a pediatric intensive care unit at a nearby children's hospital, saying the child's condition was serious.




But the child died. It was four days after my first visit to the hospital.

According to the investigation, the child was reported to have undergone surgery seven months after being born with a congenital heart defect. There was also a complicated medical history, including bladder and kidney problems.

However, it is reported that the father, who took the child to the hospital, did not tell the hospital about this medical history.




The children's hospital estimated that the cause of death appeared to be sepsis caused by a urinary tract infection.

Kayleigh Tondry, the mother of the child "I want to clarify the cause of the death of her son and the medical mistakes of the hospital", he asked the health authorities to investigate. She said, `I want to ask why doctors dismissed it as constipation and the reason for the discharge," he added.
