Question
The 9-month-old baby has been extremely bloated in the stomach for the past few days, crying and fussing a lot. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said there was nothing serious and only prescribed some probiotics. However, after coming home that day, the baby started to have a fever, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. This has been going on for several days now; the baby doesn’t eat much, and the stomach remains bloated, with undigested food in the stool.
Answer
Are there any other symptoms? How is the baby’s mental state? Does the vomit have a sour taste? This could be due to slow gastrointestinal motility and dyspepsia. Please note to ensure the baby drinks plenty of water, eats more vegetables and fruits, engages in moderate exercise, and massage the abdomen clockwise to promote gastrointestinal motility. You can also give the baby some probiotics to regulate the intestines.
