Younger babies have relatively poor gastrointestinal function, and their ability to digest and absorb food needs to be strengthened. Therefore, it is very common for babies to have a bad stomach. The most important thing is to take the right measures after the baby has eaten something bad. So what should I do if my baby gets sick and has stomach pain?
1. When a baby experiences stomach pain or diarrhea due to eating something bad, parents should not take any arbitrary measures, such as helping the baby massage their stomach without authorization, administering medication to the baby without authorization, or using hot towels or hot water bags to apply to the baby's abdomen.
2. Baby's stomach pain caused by eating bad food may be related to gastrointestinal discomfort caused by eating raw and cold food, or it may be due to eating contaminated food. It cannot be ruled out that the baby may have an allergic reaction to a certain food.
3. When a baby experiences abdominal pain, it is best for parents to take the baby to the hospital for examination first, and also bring some food that the baby has eaten for testing when going to the hospital. If the baby still experiences vomiting or diarrhea, the vomit or feces can also be tested. Parents need to calm their babies' emotions, which is beneficial for doctors to examine them.
4. It is important to avoid giving babies raw and cold food in daily life, especially expired food. The food given to babies must be fresh, warm, and preferably seasonal. Understand your child's allergens and avoid feeding them foods that can cause allergies.
