Some babies always say that their stomachs are uncomfortable. When the mother touches the baby's belly with her hands, she will feel that the baby's belly is swollen. If she knocks with her hands, it will be bloated. And babies often experience this situation, which may be caused by indigestion or a cold stomach. What should be done if the baby has bloating and diarrhea?
What should I do if my baby has bloating and diarrhea
The child's condition should be caused by acute gastroenteritis, which requires adjusting the imbalance of gut microbiota and can be treated with some medication. Encourage children to drink more water in daily life, and for those who need mixed feeding or artificial feeding due to insufficient breast milk, pay more attention to dietary adjustments.
Is baby's bloating a disease
As for whether bloating is considered a disease and whether treatment is needed, it still depends on the baby's clinical symptoms. If the baby can eat normally, defecate normally, does not vomit, and has a soft stomach, good mental state, and no signs of weight loss, diarrhea like this does not require treatment and belongs to functional diarrhea.
If a baby falls ill, such as respiratory infections, enteritis, or constipation, it can also cause a decline in digestive function, leading to bloating and even affecting appetite. If these symptoms occur, it is necessary to seek medical treatment promptly.
For babies who often have bloating, parents don't need to worry and don't rush to give them medication. First, take a closer look at the baby's condition to see if they may experience diarrhea or fever, and then treat them accordingly. Here, parents should be reminded not to let their babies catch a cold in their stomachs and not to feed them raw or cold food.
