Patient's question:
The baby will be 10 months old in just 3 days. When eating dinner and taking medicine, he feels nauseous and doesn't want to eat, only wanting to drink milk. Could it be constipation? If it is constipation, what should I do? I don't want to give him medicine.Doctor's answer:
Infant and child indigestion is a group of diseases characterized by clinical manifestations such as abdominal pain, belching, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, and constipation, most commonly occurring in infants under one year old. Long-term indigestion in infants and children can lead to growth and development disorders, recurring symptoms such as weight loss, jaundice, anemia, fatigue, and lethargy. Parents should promptly take the child to the hospital for follow-up treatment. It is recommended to follow a simple diet, consume more carbohydrates, and minimize the intake of high-fat, high-protein foods, such as lean meat, fish, animal skins, internal organs, and fatty meats, to reduce gastrointestinal pressure.
