Question
My baby was born less than a month ago and has been crying and fussing lately, with some bloating in the belly. The doctor at the hospital prescribed umbilical wind powder. I want to ask if such a small baby can take this kind of medicine, and whether the baby can take umbilical wind powder?
Answer
Hello, parent. First of all, it’s important to observe whether the baby’s condition is too severe. If medication is needed, you can follow the pediatrician’s advice at your local hospital for taking this kind of medicine for treatment. Don’t worry too much. Also, make sure to give your baby gentle belly massages regularly. Additionally, take precautions against cold and keep the belly warm.
