Patient's question:
Is it normal for a newborn who is only 9 days old to fart frequently?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child's condition may be caused by indigestion. The main causes of indigestion include an unreasonable dietary structure and poor eating habits. It can also be caused by a lack of zinc. The child's diet should include more vegetables and fruits, and meat and eggs should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake can increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and lead to poor digestion and absorption. It is important not to be picky about food, and try to establish a regular eating schedule. During episodes, you can use children's Jianpi San, children's Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian, and gastrokinetic drugs. Additionally, you can supplement with gluconate zinc and multivitamin tablets. Make sure to keep your child warm and avoid catching a cold. Wishing your baby health and happiness!
