Patient's question:
The baby always kicks their feet around after a while, with an expression like they're about to poop, and they also cry. When they strain their abdomen, it swells up, and you can even hear gurgling sounds. What's going on? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,Hello, I’m glad to help you clarify this. In this case, it’s important not to overlook the issue of poor digestion leading to gas in the child’s stomach. I recommend giving the child some oral medication to naturally regulate their digestion. At this stage, children are most prone to absorption problems, so it’s crucial to pay attention during feeding.
After feeding, hold the child upright and gently pat their back to aid digestion. Also, keep the child’s abdomen warm.
