Patient's question:
Baby is 20 days old and has been breastfeeding since birth. Since yesterday, both mother and baby have been making gurgling sounds in their stomachs, possibly due to indigestion. I bought a few packs of lactobacillus granules. Can both the baby and mother take this Chinese herbal medicine during lactation?Doctor's answer:
A 20-day-old baby has been exclusively breastfed. Since yesterday, both mother and baby have experienced increased bowel sounds, without fever, nausea, and vomiting, which are suspected symptoms of gastroenteritis. The baby can take lactobacillus granules. It is recommended to provide montmorillonite powder and folic acid B liquid. The mother can take montmorillonite powder, amoxicillin, and vitamin B6. The mother should pay attention to her diet, drink more hot water, and the baby should also drink more hot water to prevent catching a cold.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 20-day-old baby, who has been exclusively breastfed, has been experiencing gurgling in their stomach since yesterday?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
