Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s abdominal pain is likely due to a digestive system issue. There may be many possible causes, which need to be ruled out through corresponding examinations one by one, such as checking stool routine to rule out worm infection, abdominal ultrasound examination to see if it is caused by mesenteric lymphadenitis or gastrointestinal bloating. It is noted that you can give the baby more water to drink, avoid snacks, and eat easily digestible foods. After finding the cause, treat according to symptoms. In daily life, you can massage the baby’s abdomen to help with bowel digestion and movement, which can effectively control the occurrence of abdominal pain.
