Question
My 8-month-old baby has been complaining of stomach pain for two days, accompanied by nighttime grinding teeth and restless sleep. The baby’s appetite is poor. This is the first time we’ve encountered such symptoms. How should we diagnose and treat intestinal inflammation or worm infection?
Answer
At 8 months old, the baby frequently experiences abdominal pain. It is important to keep the abdomen warm and consume warm foods. Test the stool to confirm any parasitic infection. For babies over 2 years old, anti-worm medications can be taken, along with treatment for indigestion, while also supplementing calcium and avoiding cold and raw foods.
