Question
Is crying and abdominal swelling in children related to abdominal pain? How can one determine if it is bloating, and what should be done about it?
Answer
Common causes of infant abdominal pain include dyspepsia and cold, with symptoms possibly including abdominal bloating, frequent bowel movements, increased flatulence, as well as vomiting or dry heaves. It is recommended to use cold compresses and clockwise massage of the abdomen to help expel intestinal gas. At the same time, pay attention to the child’s warmth, adjust clothing appropriately according to weather changes, and avoid catching a cold, overeating, or binge eating. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you.
