Patient's question:
The baby is just 20 days old and frequently passes gas, which is very smelly. The bowel movements are not very smooth. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Considering gastrointestinal digestive function disorders, because the baby's intestinal digestive system is not yet fully developed, it is very easy to experience constipation or indigestion. It is recommended to perform clockwise abdominal massage to promote intestinal peristalsis. Pay attention to a diet with small and frequent meals, oral probiotics to regulate gastrointestinal function, and keep the child warm by appropriately adding or removing clothes. Whether breastfed or formula-fed, it is necessary to give the child some warm water.
