Question
My newborn is 25 days old, has abdominal bloating, and only poops once every two days. They have a fiery temperament and their stomach makes constant rumbling sounds, and they sometimes vomit dry heaves. The doctor prescribed traditional Chinese medicine pills today, and I’m worried it might affect their growth and development.
Answer
The infant may be experiencing abdominal pain and bloating due to gastrointestinal dysfunction and indigestion. As long as the medication is prescribed by a doctor from a formal hospital, it should be considered safe. You can give them children’s digestive syrup to treat the condition, and also apply a cold compress to the abdomen to relieve symptoms. At the same time, avoid cold and greasy foods. I hope this helps.
