Nowadays, many families only have one baby, and parents are very protective and often spoil the baby. However, in real life, there are many delicious foods that adults find difficult to resist, let alone babies. So, will children suffer from abdominal pain if they accumulate food?
Accumulated food, also known as indigestion, is mainly caused by improper diet. Food that cannot be digested in the stomach for a long time can cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract, leading to gastrointestinal diseases. Generally speaking, overeating can only cause bloating in babies, and if it is severe, it may also lead to abdominal pain.
How to determine if a baby has accumulated food?
1. Abdominal bloating and pain: If a baby experiences bloating or pain in their stomach, some babies may not express it yet. At this point, the mother can touch the baby's belly to see if it is bulging, and there will be a tapping sound when tapping with her hand. Pressing the belly will also cause pain to the baby.
2. Sour and Stinky Breath: When there is food accumulation in the stomach, one often exhales a sour and putrid breath. The baby's tongue coating is thick, white, and some even yellow. Long term accumulation of food can also cause constipation, yellow urine, strong odor, and in severe cases, accompanied by diarrhea or vomiting.
3. Lack of spirit: Accumulation of food is also considered a physical abnormality, and when any abnormality occurs in the body, it naturally leads to poor mental state. Normally, babies are lively, but suddenly they become quiet and prone to drowsiness, becoming clingy, indicating a high possibility of food accumulation.
