Patient's question:
Hello, my baby has been passing gas at night, and there's a bit of a stomach ache too. Could there be a serious problem?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pediatric abdominal distension is due to indigestion. Abdominal distension is mainly caused by an unreasonable dietary structure. It is essential to eat more vegetables and fruits and drink plenty of water daily. Appropriately supplement with high-quality protein such as fish, shrimp, meat, and eggs. Increase outdoor activity time to promote intestinal motility and aid digestion. Avoid picky eating and partiality. Do not eat snacks, cold drinks, or beverages. Oral probiotics can regulate intestinal flora, but the main cause is still an unreasonable dietary structure. The dietary structure still needs to be adjusted, and medication can only be supportive. If the abdominal distension is severe, an abdominal ultrasound should be performed.
