Patient's question:
A newborn who just turned a month old has been experiencing bloating and vomiting milk in the past two weeks. The pediatrician prescribed Bifidus factor tablets. After taking the medication, the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 24 hours, but has been frequently babbling nonsense. Is the lack of bowel movement a side effect of the medication?Doctor's answer:
For the issue you mentioned, it should be considered that the current discomfort symptoms are caused by the newborn's digestive problems. You can take medication and carefully observe. The symptoms that have reappeared should be due to medication issues. As long as the child's bowel movements are normal, it is safe. You can decide to continue observing the child's bowel movements and bloating, vomiting, and other symptoms. There is no need to worry too much.
