What should be done about infant gas?

Patient's question:

My child is exactly eight months old. Recently, I've been very uncomfortable with her stomach. She keeps crying, and it's like I'm experiencing it too—her stomach is bloated, a bit warm, and very hard and firm, as if it's full of gas. What should I do about infant gas?

Doctor's answer:

According to your current condition, if the problem of abdominal bloating reoccurs, it is often directly related to slow gastrointestinal motility. However, this situation tends to recur after long-term and excessive eating. It is recommended that you consider getting a detailed abdominal ultrasound examination at the hospital for further clarification. In necessary cases, you may also consider undergoing acupuncture and moxibustion therapy for the digestive system. Pay attention to protecting your navel and use a navel patch to stabilize it. You can also get acupuncture to alleviate the symptoms.
