Dysdigestion is the most common gastrointestinal abnormality, during which symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, and acid reflux may occur. Children have weak digestive abilities, and many parents hope their children can eat more, which can easily lead to indigestion. So, how to treat pediatric indigestion?
When a child experiences indigestion, it is usually caused by improper diet or catching a cold in the abdomen. At this time, it is recommended to give the child some specialized digestive drugs for infants and young children. If there are still symptoms of gastrointestinal bloating, medication to improve gastrointestinal motility should be given.
When a child has indigestion, in addition to taking medication, it is also necessary to adjust their diet. At this time, it is necessary to give the child some easily digestible food, such as porridge, noodle soup, etc. Do not give children greasy food to avoid increasing the burden on their gastrointestinal tract. If the child is relatively young and still eating complementary foods, they should temporarily stop adding complementary foods and be breastfed or formula fed.
If the baby's digestive symptoms are severe, it is necessary to seek medical treatment. If a child has symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux during indigestion, doctors usually give them some stomach acid suppressing drugs, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms. In addition, doctors will also use drugs to adjust the gut microbiota, which can help with the body's recovery.
