How to relieve newborn intestinal gas

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of issues, and I am very concerned, afraid that the condition will worsen. How can I relieve newborn intestinal gas?

Doctor's answer:

Methods to relieve gas include gently patting the baby's back after feeding to help them burp, allowing gas to be expelled smoothly; or applying infant peppermint oil and massaging the baby's abdomen, which can help with intestinal movement and release gas through farting. Since the child is threatened by newborn diseases, family members must take the child to a doctor immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to observe changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
