What should I do if a child has a bloated stomach?

Patient's question:

Baby is 12 weeks old, I don't know what the situation will be. Later, I learned that she/he was sick. Please ask: what should I do if the child's stomach is bloated?

Doctor's answer:

First, it's important to understand the cause of the baby's abdominal pain. For example, if the baby swallows a large amount of air while breastfeeding due to an unsuitable nipple or crying, it can lead to intestinal gas. In this case, parents should pay attention to changing the nipple for the child and try to avoid letting the child cry excessively. They can also perform abdominal massage exercises for the child to help expel the gas. If the pain is due to poor digestion or gastrointestinal absorption disorders, it's important to see a doctor for appropriate treatment.
