Question
What symptoms are associated with newborn indigestion? Which symptoms should prompt a visit to pediatric surgery instead of pediatric internal medicine? Can one-month-old newborns experience crying due to indigestion?
Answer
According to parental descriptions, newborn indigestion may lead to an increase in bowel movements, with visible undigested food in the stool. It is recommended that parents administer stomachic and digestant tablets and probiotic medications, and may require intravenous treatment if necessary. Since newborns have weaker resistance, parents should promptly take their child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment, and follow medical instructions for routine checks and symptomatic treatment.
