Question
A nine-month-old baby is experiencing severe gas problems, with a thick tongue coating that persists. Although the baby has shown some relief after taking probiotics for two weeks, the symptoms recur upon discontinuation of the medication. The baby wakes up multiple times at night due to difficulty passing gas, and also scratches their ears. There is also an issue with inguinal hernia, although it has mostly recovered.
Answer
Based on the described situation, the baby’s diarrhea may be influenced by the mother’s breast milk. It is recommended that the mother pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid fried and junk food, maintain regular eating habits, and reduce the intake of cold drinks. At the same time, increase the intake of fruits and vegetables. When feeding the baby, attention must be paid to hygiene, ensuring that the nipples are clean and hand hygiene is maintained after bowel movements. A packet of Bifidobacterium Triple Live Yeast Powder can be taken twice daily, half an hour after feeding.
