Question
My baby is now 3 months old and has been experiencing abdominal bloating. They have been to the hospital several times for checks, and the doctor diagnosed it as umbilical wind. The baby has been taking medication but there has been no improvement, and they cry and fuss all day. What methods can be used to treat umbilical wind?
Answer
Consider whether the baby has caught a cold, as there may be issues with gastrointestinal digestion. You can apply a warm compress to the baby’s abdomen and administer probiotics orally. If the baby is being breastfed, the mother should avoid eating cold, spicy, and greasy foods, and instead consume more foods rich in vitamins, proteins, and trace elements. Drink more warm water. First, adjust the baby’s diet to alleviate symptoms, and also use medication as an auxiliary treatment.
