Patient's question:
The baby is just 38 days old. Since over 20 days, it has been uncomfortable. It always strains, turning red in the face and crying. The body curls up, hands clenched into small fists, and continues until it either fusses or has a bowel movement. After a while, it starts straining again. When not straining, the baby is in a good mood, eating and drinking well. For mixed feeding. The baby's poop is golden yellow, sometimes mixed with milk curds, usually pasty. At the hospital, after a thorough examination, the doctor touched the abdomen, listened to the front, back, and abdomen, and said everything was fine. I wonder if the baby's condition could be infant colic? If so, what treatment is needed?Doctor's answer:
From the medical history, it seems the baby may have colic, intestinal cramps, and intestinal spasms. Currently, the baby is being mixed-fed, so the mom's diet needs to be cautious, aiming for light and easy-to-digest foods to avoid potential allergens. The formula should be switched to a deeper hydrolyzed protein formula for easier digestion. The above advice is for the question "How to treat a baby who has been uncomfortable since the 20th day and is now 38 days old?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
