Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My baby is currently 22 days old and weighs 5 jin 5 liang. There are no other diseases. Since 15 days ago, he has started to frequently pass gas and make humming, gasping sounds. His face turns red, and sometimes he suddenly starts crying. The condition worsens at night, crying and fussing for several hours, severely affecting his sleep. The hospital prescribed Mammi Ai and calcium supplements, but they have been ineffective.Doctor's answer:
If the child cries and fusses at relatively fixed times and shows symptoms such as abdominal bloating, it's necessary to consider the possibility of colic. You can gently rub the child's abdomen, ensure they stay warm, and if the bloating is significant, you can give simethicone or other symptomatic treatments. Additionally, if the child is breastfed, the mother should avoid eating foods that are easily bloating or allergenic. It generally takes 2-3 months to alleviate, and you can continue taking Mimi Ai.
