18-month-old baby, convulsions caused by bloating and indigestion, can it be cured?

Patient's question:

Hello, Dr. Gu. My daughter is now one week and eight months old. In the first lunar month of this year, she vomited milk for three or four consecutive days and had convulsions while playing outside. Her fists were clenched tightly, her eyes rolled back, and there was a slight amount of fluid at the corners of her mouth. The episodes lasted about a minute before subsiding. At the beginning of this month, she vomited again at midnight, and she had another episode. She had three consecutive episodes.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Your condition is considered to be bloating caused by indigestion. This is often due to the baby's gastrointestinal function not being fully developed yet, leading to insufficient digestion of milk, which results in bloating, increased bowel sounds, and other symptoms. It is recommended to actively treat and prevent this.
It is advised to eat small, frequent meals, avoid overeating, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid catching colds. You can take Lactobacillus sporogenes tablets and Wangshi Baoci Pills. Additionally, take the baby outdoors more often to get more sun exposure.
