Symptoms and Relief Methods for Infant Gas in the Intestines

Doctor's answer (1)

Symptoms include abdominal bloating, hardness, fussiness or crying, poor appetite, and frequent, foul-smelling gas. 1. To relieve intestinal gas, parents are advised to pay attention to feeding posture and avoid feeding too quickly or urgently; gently pat the baby's back after feeding to help them burp and release gas. 2. Regularly perform abdominal massage for the baby to promote intestinal motility; use infant-appropriate probiotics to regulate gut microbiota. 3. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice promptly to rule out other underlying conditions. There is no need for excessive concern—most cases of intestinal gas can gradually improve with proper care and observation.
