What should I do if my child has bloating?

If some children have problems, then it is necessary to pay attention to taking timely treatment measures for treatment, so as to ensure the health of the children and avoid serious problems caused by the children's physical problems. Then it is necessary to pay attention to taking timely treatment. So what should we do if the child has bloating? Well, let me introduce this issue to you below.

(1) Swallowing too much air: When babies are bottle-fed, if they suck too quickly, they may inhale too much air. If the nipple hole of the bottle is not the right size or the bottle is tilted, air may be inhaled into the baby's stomach through the nipple gap. Excessive crying by babies can also easily lead to bloating.

(2) Indigestion: The accumulation of feces in the intestines causes the proliferation of gas-producing bad bacteria, or milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance, enteritis, etc. cause poor digestion and absorption, which easily produces a large amount of gas.

(3) Gastrointestinal motility disorders: They are divided into purely functional ones called "pseudo-intestinal obstruction" and "congenital megacolon" which is a true lack of ganglia in the gastrointestinal tract. Such problems vary in severity, ranging from chronic constipation and bloating to severe vomiting, and can be temporary or lifelong.

Common symptoms of gas in babies

In terms of treatment, topical application of wind-repellent oil or covering with a warm towel can also help. Changing the baby's position, such as sleeping on the stomach, will make the baby feel safe, and the stomach will be compressed, thus improving the symptoms. However, when sleeping on the stomach, you should pay attention to the mattress not being too soft to avoid suffocating the baby. This disease has a very good prognosis and most of them disappear on their own when the baby is four to five months old.

Another type of bloating caused by lactose intolerance is sometimes a sequela of enteritis, and sometimes there is "racial" lactose intolerance in Oriental peoples, which is more likely to occur in older children between the ages of three and five. For example, after a child goes to kindergarten, if he drinks more dairy products, he will suffer from bloating and stomach pain. These conditions will improve after he stops drinking milk. At this time, you can choose "low-lactose formula milk powder".

From this we can see that the way to relieve flatulence is to gently pat the baby's back after feeding to make him burp so that the gas can be discharged smoothly; or apply baby peppermint oil and massage the baby's abdomen, which will help intestinal peristalsis and expel the flatulence through farting. And prevent bloating by avoiding letting the baby be hungry for too long before feeding, and soothing the baby to prevent him from crying. Both children and adults should eat less foods containing indigestible, low-level polysaccharides, because they will ferment and produce gas in the digestive tract, such as sweet potatoes, French fries, beans, melons, etc.

The above is my opinion on this issue that I introduced to you. If your baby has the above problems, then the baby needs to pay attention to taking timely treatment methods for treatment. This will prevent the baby from being affected by the above problems and avoid the worsening of the disease. Finally, I wish your baby a speedy recovery.
