Question
A four-month-old baby has indigestion, and after a few days, the tongue coating turns white. The baby has a bowel movement every three days, and the stool is dry. Can the baby take lactase tablets to improve the condition? The indications for lactase are: for indigestion, abdominal bloating, and diarrhea caused by pediatric dietary adjustment, such as green stools (my baby has a bowel movement every three days, and the stool is dry. Can I give lactase tablets if there’s no diarrhea?")
Answer
It is estimated that the baby’s indigestion can be appropriately treated with lactase tablets, and the effect can be better when combined with compound pepsin. According to the above situation, while taking the aforementioned medication, you can also give the baby oral Seven Treasure Powder to help digest and defecate. Pay attention to adequate water supplementation at all times; consuming plenty of fruit juices can help adjust the gastrointestinal tract. I hope this helps, and wish the baby a speedy recovery.
