What are the symptoms of indigestion in children?

Children's resistance is much weaker than that of adults, and even if they are sick, they may not be able to tell their parents in time, which may delay the onset of the disease. Therefore, parents need to observe carefully and understand their children's physical condition. Indigestion in children is a relatively common disease that many children have experienced. In addition to affecting appetite, indigestion can also lead to many other complications. However, many parents miss the best time for treatment because they do not understand the symptoms of indigestion in children.

(1) Bad breath

If you feel that your child has a strong taste in his mouth recently, it is most likely due to indigestion. Children in serious cases may also vomit, and what they vomit out are sour and smelly undigested food. In this case, the possibility of food accumulation should be considered.

(2) Stool smells bad

The ancients said, "It smells like rotten eggs." In other words, the stool has the smell of rotten eggs. In this case, the possibility of food accumulation should also be considered.

(3) Changes in the frequency and quality of bowel movements

Children with indigestion will have changes in the frequency of their bowel movements, which may become more frequent, but each time will be sticky and unpleasant, have a bad smell, and may even cause diarrhea. The odor of stool will be more severe in the first few days, and then will gradually become lighter and the taste will become a light fishy smell. Such children will also have a bloated stomach, which will constantly make gurgling sounds as if there is gas passing through. At the same time, they will constantly pass gas and fart, and the smell will be quite strong.

(4) The tongue coating will become thicker

This situation is very typical. There is a coin-sized thick tongue coating in the middle part of the tongue. In some cases, the tongue coating of the entire tongue becomes thick and greasy. At this time, you should highly suspect whether you have food accumulation.
