Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of indigestion in babies? Is there a way to treat it? What precautions should be taken on a daily basis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of infant indigestion are diverse, causing many parents headaches. Most parents are unsure how to accurately identify infant indigestion and cannot provide timely care for their infants.Symptom 1 of infant indigestion: Spitting up. Older infants often vomit, usually not severely, and the vomit has an acidic taste.
Symptom 2: Reduced appetite, abdominal distension, and hyperactive bowel sounds, even without a stethoscope, the "gurgling" sound of the stomach can be heard.
Symptom 3: Bad breath. When breast milk or food stagnates in the stomach, bad breath often occurs first, especially morning breath that smells sour, which is a sign of milk stagnation. Clinically, this is referred to as upper digestive stagnation.
Symptom 4: Foul-smelling stools.
Symptom 5: Refusal to eat.
Symptom 6: Abdominal pain often accompanies diarrhea and vomiting.
