Question
Last night around 7 PM, I heard my son’s stomach gurgling for a while as he was sleeping. This morning, his stool is a bit loose, and there are undigested food residues. I suspect it might be due to eating too much cold food or catching a cold. Now he seems to have stomach pain and keeps wanting to go to the bathroom but can’t. His spirits are okay. Last night, I gave him 1 gram of probiotics. I want to know if this amount of probiotics will be effective for him?
Answer
The gurgling sound in a child’s stomach, accompanied by diarrhea, is a sign of indigestion. It’s important to keep the abdomen warm, serve warm food to the child, and gently rub the abdomen clockwise. At the same time, you can give the child some probiotics. Pay special attention to abdominal warmth when sleeping, avoid eating cold foods, eat less before bed, and closely observe the situation.
