Question
My infant doesn’t have a loss of appetite but experiences digestive discomfort after eating. What should I do, and do I need to take them to the hospital?
Answer
There are many reasons for infants’ digestive discomfort, such as improper feeding, gastrointestinal inflammation, excessive use of antibiotics, cold weather, weakened immunity, or catching a cold. Understanding the cause is essential for targeted treatment and relief of symptoms. The baby should get plenty of rest, as adequate sleep can help recover energy and strengthen immunity. Mom can gently massage the baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction during the massage. If symptoms are severe or persist without improvement, it is advisable to seek medical advice and treatment from a professional doctor.
