What are the reasons why newborns fart a lot

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what causes newborns to pass gas frequently?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be indigestion. It is recommended not to eat greasy foods. You can use Baohe Wan (Bao He Pill) with modifications for treatment, or roast radish seeds, remove the shells, and decoct them for drinking, which is quite effective.
The condition you described is likely pharyngitis, which falls under upper respiratory tract infection. The treatment primarily involves antibiotics. You can consider intravenous medication, or use five to seven lantern fruits (Jin Ling Deng) to steep in water for drinking, which is quite effective.
