Patient's question:
Seven-month-old baby, fed once at 9 PM, once at 10 PM, and again at 1 AM because of crying. Fed again at 5 AM. Now crying constantly, passing gas, and crying non-stop. What should I do? Thank youDoctor's answer:
The child is crying, passing smelly gas, and it's important to pay attention to abdominal pain caused by poor digestive function. Cold compresses and clockwise abdominal massage can help improve intestinal motility. If the crying is still severe, further careful examination is needed to rule out conditions like intussusception. Avoid frequent feeding due to the baby's crying, as it may increase gastrointestinal pressure and cause abdominal discomfort. Carefully observe the baby's temperature and urination/diarrhea to identify the cause of crying and address it accordingly.
