What are the symptoms of a baby's stomach discomfort?

Some babies have stomach discomfort, so they need to pay attention to timely take appropriate examination and treatment methods to check and treat, so as to ensure the health of the baby and avoid other problems that affect the baby's health and threaten the baby's safety. So what are the symptoms of a baby's stomach discomfort?

1. Bad breath

When milk and food stagnate in the stomach, bad breath often occurs first, especially bad breath and sour mouth in the morning, which are manifestations of milk and food stagnation. Clinically, this is called high-level food withdrawal. Parents will find that their baby has severe bad breath in the morning or when burping. This is a sign of indigestion and parents should pay attention.

2. Loss of appetite

If the baby has indigestion, he will have symptoms such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and hyperactive bowel sounds. The doctor can even hear the "gurgling" sound from the baby's stomach without a stethoscope.

3. Spitting up milk

Young babies will often spit up milk, and older children will vomit. It is generally not serious, the vomit has a sour taste but the patient is in good spirits. Vomiting is accompanied by abdominal pain. Younger babies will cry and be restless, while older children will complain of abdominal pain. If the abdominal pain is not severe, it may resolve on its own. If you have severe abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately.

4. Diarrhea

The baby defecates 5 to 10 times a day. The stool contains a small amount of water and milk lumps and has a sour smell. The stool of older children is foul-smelling and is accompanied by food residues.

5. Restless sleep

The child will be irritable, cry, have hot palms, sleep restlessly at night, and even have a low fever. He will kick off the quilt while sleeping and sweat a lot on his head when he just falls asleep. This is because too much food has accumulated in the stomach and intestines, causing internal heat. As the saying goes, "If you want a child to be well, keep him three parts hungry and cold" and "If the stomach is not in harmony, he will have a restless night."

Different situations may occur when the baby has stomach discomfort, so the baby needs to pay attention to take appropriate methods to treat it in time, so as to avoid danger to the baby due to stomach discomfort. In particular, the baby’s condition should be paid attention to once it worsens, then the baby needs timely treatment.
