Patient's question:
My child had bloating 8 days after birth. He eats well but sleeps poorly. He looks like he wants to pass gas and wants to poop, but he strains and turns red. When he finally manages to pass it, there are milk spots. It seems to be indigestion. What should I do?First follow-up question: He's just turned one month old now. He hasn't been able to poop for these past few days. Currently using Kao Sai Lu.
Doctor's answer:
The child's stool is milky white and difficult to digest. You can help with some digestive water. However, based on your description, the child's condition is not just indigestion. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital and have a pediatric surgeon perform an anal finger examination to rule out congenital megacolon or anal stenosis. If congenital megacolon is present, it must be followed up with a bowel for at least 1 year, and surgery is required after the age of 1. I hope my answer addresses your question.
