How to deal with a bloated stomach in a six-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

My baby is six and a half months old. Recently, he has been crying frequently and very intensely, sometimes even running a high fever. I went to the hospital for a follow-up visit, and the doctor said he has gas in his stomach. However, even after seeing the doctor, there hasn't been any improvement at all.

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of your child may still be caused by indigestion. It is recommended that you try massage therapy for your child. Have the child lie flat on their back. The massage therapist should place the base of the right palm firmly against the abdominal muscles and gently push in the direction of right upper abdomen—left upper abdomen—right lower abdomen. Repeat this direction repeatedly. The technique should not be too forceful, and each session should last about ten minutes. Perform the therapy 2-3 times a day. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
