Patient's question:
If it's because of holding in gas that makes you cry from being stifled, how can this be resolved? The baby is 23 days old and has been waking up once every 1.5 hours at night for the past two nights. During the day, it's about 1 hour. Watching him, he was sleeping well, but suddenly his face looked uncomfortable, flushed, and then he burst into tears with a loud "wah." This situation often occurs about 30 minutes after eating, then after a bowel movement, and then falling asleep.What kind of help is desired: I want to know how to solve this problem. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Children may experience abdominal pain again in this situation. How is the stool normal? Since it reappears during defecation and about half an hour after falling asleep, and if the stool is normal, it should not be caused by poor. Think about how the child might have been startled unintentionally. If the stool is abnormal, it is recommended to gently massage the area of the hand between the thumb and index finger (dà yú jì) and the foot three miles (zú sān lǐ) on the calf to regulate the function of the gastrointestinal twists. The child is still young, with a pure yang constitution, and responds immediately to stimulation. It is still recommended to use pediatric acupuncture techniques for regulation. The above suggestions are for the question "If it is because the gas cannot be released that leads to crying and stifling, how to deal with it?" I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
