Question
How to treat newborn abdominal distension?
Answer
The need for treatment for newborn abdominal distension depends on observing the newborn’s mental state, the softness of the abdomen, bowel movements, and growth and development. If these indicators are normal, it may be a normal physiological abdominal distension and does not require special treatment. However, if symptoms such as frequent vomiting, abnormal bowel movements, lack of spirits, or constant crying and fussiness are observed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and have the baby examined by a doctor to determine whether treatment is necessary.
