Question
A baby born at 36 weeks and 4 days, now three months old, is still experiencing severe vomiting and has reduced bowel movements. The baby has not had a bowel movement in six to seven days. Is there a health concern?
Answer
If a child exhibits constipation and vomiting symptoms, it may be due to indigestion, and probiotics or medications containing Bifidobacteria can be considered for dietary supplementation. These drugs can be used to treat abdominal pain, nausea, and constipation caused by indigestion and improve the normal flora of the intestines. If the baby frequently vomits, it is advisable to visit the hospital for a detailed examination to rule out the possibility of congenital pyloric stenosis.
