Patient's question:
The baby has been born for about 40 days, and the stomach often makes gurgling sounds, with bloating. The stool has curds, and it's about four times a day. Even after taking medicine, it doesn't improve. There was a blood test, and the stool test was normal. What are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Given this situation, consider the baby has lactose intolerance. This means the baby produces less lactase and cannot fully digest the lactose from breast milk or cow's milk, which can cause non-infectious nausea and vomiting. This condition is usually more common in newborns or infants who are primarily fed with milk. You can give the baby more warm water to drink and offer small, frequent meals to make it easier for the intestines to digest. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm and gently massage the abdomen to promote intestinal movement. The mother must arrange her diet reasonably.
