Patient's question:
What can be done about a baby's bloating and gas? The baby cries with a bloated stomach, but it's not hard, and the doctor says it's gas. Medication didn't work. I've tried probiotics, and it made him stop crying.Doctor's answer:
The child has abdominal distension and gas accumulation in the intestines, which may cause abdominal pain symptoms. Therefore, crying is a normal response, and dietary adjustment and medication for digestion are needed. In terms of diet, supplementary foods should be temporarily stopped, and breastfeeding should be increased with diluted milk. Reducing gastrointestinal pressure can help alleviate abdominal pain and crying. Probiotics or Fei'er Wan can be used to aid digestion. Carefully observe bowel movements, and if constipation or nausea and vomiting symptoms occur, provide symptomatic treatment. If necessary, seek medical attention for an abdominal MRI examination.
