Question
What’s going on if a newborn often cries and fusses at night, with a hard belly and frequent farts?
Answer
Abdominal pain in newborns may be due to improper feeding or indigestion, which can lead to discomfort and crying in the baby. Probiotics can be given to regulate the intestines, such as using probiotics, and attention should be paid to clockwise abdominal massage. For traditional Chinese medicine, a combination of Simo Decoction Oral Liquid can help eliminate stagnation and bloating. During acute pain periods, rectal suppositories can be used to aid defecation, but they should not be used frequently. Pay attention to dietary control in daily life, avoiding excessive consumption of high-calorie foods like meats.
