Question
What should I do for my six-month-old’s abdominal swelling? I’ve taken him to see a doctor and he’s taken medication, but there has been no improvement, and he’s still having diarrhea. What treatments have I tried before, and how effective were they? I’ve taken medication but it hasn’t worked. What kind of assistance do I need?
Answer
If a six-month-old child’s abdominal swelling is accompanied by diarrhea, it may be due to intestinal dysfunction. I’m not sure what medications you’ve given to your child orally, but in this situation, it is suggested to administer probiotics to regulate the child’s intestines, and at the same time, massage the child’s abdomen to alleviate intestinal peristalsis and digestion. Please pay attention to keeping the child’s abdomen warm and ensuring the cleanliness of diet or breastfeeding. If breastfeeding, it is recommended that the mother avoid spicy and irritating foods.
