Patient's question:
My daughter hasn't been eating much these days, and she says her stomach feels bloated every day. The past couple of days, she has also been passing gas frequently, and the gas is particularly foul. My mother-in-law says it's a sign of gas in the child.What should I pay attention to when dealing with gas in children?
Doctor's answer:
The child's bloating is caused by exposure to cold or consuming foods that easily produce gas. Bloating tends to recur with symptoms like loss of appetite and abdominal distension. First, pay attention to preventing cold exposure and try to avoid foods high in protein that are prone to producing gas. Carefully observe whether the current bloating symptoms can be relieved. If they cannot be relieved, you can use medications to enhance absorption and carefully observe the effects. Pay attention to your diet and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
