How Can A Stomal Blockage Be Treated?

hMy mother has a Ileostomy. She was just in the hospital, and she has a hernia around her stoma, and the doctor reduced it with his finger. She came home last night. She hasn t produced much in her bag today, and she is convinced it is blocked again. She s not in any pain, she just feels full. Should we go back to the ER?
