Question
What are the causes of the baby’s intermittent pain around the navel?
Answer
Consideration is given to intestinal parasites as a cause, and it is recommended to use medications such as mebendazole, albendazole, or fenbendazole for deworming. However, these drugs may have side effects on infants and should be used with caution. It is usually suggested to deworm children during spring and autumn. Additionally, baby spitting up is a normal phenomenon that tends to decrease as they grow older. It is recommended to hold the baby upright after feeding and gently pat their back to help them burp, reducing the likelihood of spitting up.
