What should I do if my two-year-old baby has a bloated belly?

Two-year-old babies are too young to express their ideas in words, so they can only cry to express their discomfort. Parents will be in a panic at this time. Don't panic too much when the baby is bloated. Give the baby some fried rice cakes or scorched rice soup, applesauce, whole milk, light tea, etc., which can effectively relieve abdominal distension. However, if the baby continues to have severe bloating, you must seek medical attention in time.

1. Yogurt. First add 5-10% sucrose to the milk and boil it for sterilization. After the milk has cooled, slowly drip lactic acid solution into it (5 ml of 5% lactic acid solution for every 100 ml of milk), stirring while adding until it becomes fine particles. Yogurt is easy to digest and suitable for children with gastroenteritis.

2. Skim milk. Boil the milk, remove the fat film after it cools down, then boil the remaining milk, remove the fat film after it cools down, and repeat this three times. Skim milk is suitable for children suffering from vomiting, diarrhea, dysentery, etc.

3. Fried milk cake. Fry the milk cake until it turns light yellow. After frying, the starch turns into carbonized dextrin, which can absorb water. It has the effect of stopping diarrhea and aiding digestion.

4. Scorched rice soup. Wash the rice, let it dry and fry until it turns brown. Add 6 grams of the fried rice into 100 ml of water and cook over low heat for 1 hour. Filter out the residue and add 0.4% salt and bring to a boil. The starch in the scorched rice soup turns into dextrin, making it easy to digest. Suitable for children with severe diarrhea and indigestion.

5. Carrot juice. First use 500 grams of carrots, wash and mash them, add a little water and boil for 10 to 15 minutes, filter with gauze, add water to 1000 ml, then add 3 to 5% sucrose, boil and pour into a bottle, boil for 5 to 10 minutes to disinfect it and then drink.

6. Applesauce soup. Take 500-700 grams of ripe apples, wash them, mash them into a paste, and put them into light tea. Apple fiber is finer and has little irritation to the intestines. It is rich in alkaline and pectin, which has adsorption and astringent effects. It is suitable for children with diarrhea over 1 year old.

7. Light tea. Take a little black tea and brew it with boiling water 4 times a day. Because tea contains caffeine, tannic acid, etc., it has stimulating, cardiotonic, diuretic, astringent, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects and is effective for acute gastroenteritis.
