Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what a 6-month-old baby with abdominal bloating and pain should eat?Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition should be functional dyspepsia. The baby is in good spirits and has a good appetite. The stool test is also normal, indicating no viral or bacterial infection. This diarrhea is caused by the baby's poor gastrointestinal digestive ability. It is recommended to feed the baby less frequently but more meals, and supplement with yeast powder or enteric-coated pancreatin capsules for treatment. These two medications are digestive enzyme supplements that can help improve the baby's ability to digest food. At the same time, feeding the baby with Si Ni Jian Pi San (a traditional Chinese medicine for strengthening the spleen) will also be beneficial.
