Patient's question:
This period has been quite frustrating. Her baby is only three and a half months old. Usually, she's been doing well, and even fever is rare. But recently, for some reason, every time she tries to fall asleep, she cries intensely. Taking her to the hospital for a thorough check-up, it was found to be intestinal spasm. What assistance is needed: What should be done when the baby always experiences intestinal spasm before falling asleep?Doctor's answer:
If crying is related to intestinal cramps but the crying is not severe, use the second and second-level treatment plans; if it is severe intestinal cramps, adopt the third-level treatment.1. First-level treatment: Comfort the child, sway the child, reduce environmental noise, and use a hot water bag to warm the infant's abdomen; provide encouragement and care to the parent; herbal medicine or dimethicone can be taken.
2. Second-level treatment is medication. Medications such as scopolamine can block muscarinic receptors in smooth muscle and can also directly act on smooth muscle to eliminate smooth muscle spasms.
