Question
The child has been crying and showing a lack of appetite recently. What are the normal stool patterns during indigestion?
Answer
Hello, indigestion may cause diarrhea or constipation in children. If there are no other symptoms such as abdominal bloating or bowel sounds, there is no need to worry. Your child may be going through a fussy feeding phase, which usually improves after a few days. Try to feed the child when they are in good mood and avoid forcing them to eat. If the child is over 8 months old, you can try giving them some cherry tomatoes; for those between 4 to 8 months, consider giving them juice. Cherry tomatoes are rich in nutrition and beneficial for the child.
