Patient's question:
My son has been sleeping restlessly for two months, often accompanied by humming sounds. He still spits up milk, and his stomach makes gurgling noises while feeding. He has bowel movements only once every seven or eight days. Is this due to poor digestion?Doctor's answer:
Due to the immature nervous system of the gastrointestinal tract and the underdeveloped gastrointestinal function in infants, using medication to relieve constipation can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms. Therefore, dietary therapy is the most ideal approach for treating constipation in children. You can give your baby honey water, either by drinking it regularly or adding honey to milk for feeding, which is quite effective. Alternatively, bananas can also be consumed, as they can provide a short-term laxative effect. Additionally, castor oil is also a good option for relieving constipation.The above suggestions are for the question "My two-month-old son is restless at night and often makes humming sounds, and he also spits up." I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
