Patient's question:
A 23-day-old baby doesn't sleep well in the afternoon and constantly cries, as if he has a stomachache.The baby is 23 days old, and in the past two days, he has been crying intensely in the afternoon, kicking his feet, and scratching his hands randomly. His stomach gurgles, and when he urinates, it's like a yellow, translucent, sticky liquid mixed with some solid waste and watery liquid.
Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
Any help sought: None.
Desire: I would like to hear the expert's preliminary diagnosis.
The baby hasn't reached his full moon yet, and it's still too cold in the Northeast to go to the hospital.
Thank you, expert.
Doctor's answer:
This parent should first check if the child has any signs of catching a cold. When changing the diaper, it is essential to cover the child's navel properly. Additionally, if the child experiences indigestion, it can easily lead to nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. If the child is fed with formula milk, it may result in food accumulation. If the child appears unwell and crying is particularly noticeable, it is advisable to visit the hospital for an abdominal X-ray and abdominal color Doppler ultrasound to rule out intestinal spasm.
