Due to their young age, a two month old baby's various bodily functions are also very incomplete. Therefore, various abnormal symptoms may occur in daily life, causing parents to be particularly worried and anxious, such as hyperactive bowel sounds. So, let's take a look at how to deal with hyperactive bowel sounds in a two month old baby?
Excessive bowel sounds during abdominal auscultation in infants often indicate mechanical intestinal obstruction or intussusception. Under normal circumstances, a person's bowel sounds are about 4-5 times per minute. If the number of bowel sounds is more than 10 times per minute, and the bowel sounds are loud, high pitched, or even metallic or jingle sounds, it is called excessive bowel sounds. For infants with mechanical intestinal obstruction, taking abdominal X-rays often indicates intestinal dilation, increased gas accumulation, intestinal wall swelling, thinning, and tension, which resonates with hyperactive bowel sounds. Therefore, high pitched metallic tones can be heard in the abdomen.
So, in general, the cause of excessive bowel sounds in babies is gastrointestinal diseases, which mainly include enteritis and gastritis. The occurrence of enteritis and gastritis can cause babies to be unable to absorb sufficient nutrients, resulting in serious damage to their bodies. The occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases can lead to abnormal symptoms such as loss of appetite, mental fatigue, and irregular bowel movements, which can cause excessive bowel sounds in babies.
