Patient's question:
A newborn who just turned one month old has been experiencing bloating and vomiting milk in the past two weeks. The pediatrician prescribed Bifidobacterium Bifidum Tablets. After taking the medication, the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 24 hours, but has been talking nonsense frequently. 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 likely caused by digestive problems associated with the newborn. You can take medication and carefully observe the situation. The recurring symptoms should be due to the medication. As long as the child is passing gas normally, it is safe. You can decide to continue carefully observing the child's bowel movements and symptoms of gas, vomiting milk, etc. There is no need to worry too much.
