Patient's question:
My sister's little baby. Premature. More than 40 days after birth, the baby's abdomen was found to be severely swollen. When touched with hands, it felt like a hard lump. However, there was no constipation. The baby had bowel movements 4 to 5 times a day, which were relatively loose. During bowel movements, the child's face turned purplish-red and struggled very hard.Doctor's answer:
Hello. This situation is definitely not normal. If it's serious, it should be actively treated under the guidance of a doctor. You can take some medication to regulate the baby's digestive system under the guidance of a doctor. Otherwise, it will affect the baby's normal development. It may result in poor weight gain and some bloating. Pay attention to feeding. Drink more water. Take good care. Massage of the abdomen can help, as the symptoms are likely caused by intestinal dysfunction. It generally leads to poor bowel movement and bloating. Your situation requires active medication treatment. First, you should pay attention to rest.
