Question

The baby is eight months old and often has bloating, dry vomiting, and diarrhea. Although the baby’s spirit is good, they had enteritis at six months old, and the situation has not improved after adding new foods. How should it be managed?

Answer

If the baby only has symptoms of bloating, dry vomiting, and diarrhea, it may be a sign of weakened gastrointestinal function. It is recommended to massage the baby’s abdomen (pay attention to warmth) to reduce gastrointestinal motility and promote digestion and absorption. At the same time, probiotics can be administered orally for adjustment, and attention should be paid to the cleanliness and hygiene of feeding and breastfeeding.
