Question
My child is 9 months old and their stomach is always gurgling. They have to strain to pass gas, sleep poorly at night, and often wake up. They have a bowel movement only every two or three days and frequently throw up. What medication should I give them? Is the ‘Wenpi Yang’er Granules’ effective?
Answer
Based on your description, it seems your baby may be experiencing gastrointestinal dysfunction. I suggest giving your baby some probiotics to adjust their intestines, such as probiotics. Additionally, ‘Wenpi Yang’er Granules’ are mainly used to treat infant diarrhea and are not recommended for your baby. It is advised to feed your baby appropriately, give them plenty of water, and perform gentle clockwise massages on your baby’s abdomen to promote defecation. Moreover, if you are breastfeeding, avoid eating spicy, irritating, and cold foods. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you and your baby good health!
