Patient's question:
.Sometimes the stomach feels like it's twitching, sometimes it's soft, and it's very painful when passing gas, requiring forceful effort. The face turns red from straining, and if it doesn't come out, the baby cries. It interferes with deep sleep. I've been drinking Heshengyuan probiotics to regulate the intestines. In addition to doing clockwise stomach massages for several days, there's been no improvement.2. I feel his nose is a bit blocked, and he snorts when taking naps. When he was born, I asked the doctor, and he said it was nothing. Recently, there have been many cases of fever at home. If he gets infected and feverish, should he take medicine? What kind of medicine?
3. A few days ago, the baby had some nausea and vomiting, and the doctor prescribed Smecta. After taking it for a few days, his bowel movements became irregular—either once a day, twice a day, or sometimes none at all. I wonder if it's constipation or if it's due to insufficient breast milk and not being well-fed?
4. During naps at night, he always whimpers, startslees, and even makes snoring-like sounds. Is it a calcium deficiency? Should a baby this small take calcium supplements? I bought Goodness-of-Life TCM Bluefish Liver Oil DHA. Is it safe for a 49-day-old baby to eat?
5. During the day, he won't sleep and always cries. Holding him doesn't help either, so I have to feed him whenever he wakes up. He keeps looking for the breast to feed, falls asleep after eating, and then cries when put down—he simply won't sleep. It's very fussy. Why is this? Could it be that this stage is just very fussy?
Doctor's answer:
The baby is 50 days old, with a slightly swollen abdomen, but also experiencing some digestive issues. It's important to keep the abdomen warm and ensure that the food is eaten warm.Advice: It's recommended to give the baby some Shenling Bai Zhu Powder for relief. You can also use a bit of Mimi Ai. Gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction, and practice eating small, frequent meals. Carefully observe the situation.
This is the advice for the question "Many problems with a 50-day-old baby." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
