Baby is five months old and the stomach makes gurgling sounds, what's wrong?

Patient's question:

Today I took a 30-minute car ride, and my stomach made a rumbling noise because of the traffic jam. What's going on? No, what's the reason? What medicine should I use?

Doctor's answer:

A 5-month-old baby has been in the car for one and a half hours. Now, their stomach is rumbling, which is likely a result of intestinal cramping caused by catching a cold during the car ride. How is the baby's appetite now? Is their bowel movement normal? If both of these are normal, there is no need for medication. If there is loose stool or a decrease in appetite, you can apply a warm, damp towel to the area around the navel and then use probiotics and pancreatin enteric-coated capsules to regulate their digestion. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
