Question
The newborn is just a month old and has been experiencing bloating and vomiting in the past two weeks. After taking the probiotic acidophilus tablets prescribed by the doctor, there has been no stool passed within 24 hours, and the baby is also showing incoherent speech. Is this a side effect of the medication or another issue?
Answer
Based on the description, the newborn may be suffering from dyspepsia. Not passing stool after taking medication could be a side effect of the drug, but as long as the baby is passing gas normally, there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended to continue observing the baby’s stool and defecation situation.
