Question

A three-month-old male infant experienced vomiting last night and his stool this morning appeared yellowish with a foul smell. The child is in good spirits, but there is an unusual odor when he belches. Doctor, how should such symptoms be diagnosed and treated?

Answer

Since infants’ digestive systems are not fully developed, improper diet can easily lead to indigestion, which can then cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. It is recommended that parents give probiotics to improve intestinal function and pay attention to the child’s rest, warmth, and dietary routine. The baby can be treated with Huoxiang Zhengqi Soft Capsules and Zhengchang Sheng for intestinal health, and the amount of food should be appropriately controlled with small meals more frequently.
