What is the difference between flatulence and colic, and how can new parents tell the difference?

The symptoms are different, the baby's expressiveness is different, the state is different, the headache is different, the pain time is different, relatives and parents should distinguish according to the baby's various symptoms, if necessary, they should take the baby to the hospital for corresponding examinations.

The uncomfortable places are different, the treatment methods are different, the treatment methods are different, the drugs taken are different, and the manifestations are different.

While both are caused by a baby's tummy bloating, these are two different conditions. Flatulence is just one manifestation of a "bloated tummy". Colic is the name given to this condition and is much more severe than gas.

In addition to flatulence, there will be paroxysmal pain, irritability, unsoothing crying, and the baby's own instinct is to try to relieve calf curling, kicking, thrashing.

flatulence, mostly caused by improper diet and cold; Colic is caused by excessive gastrointestinal gas induced by a variety of causes. In addition to food inappropriateness, there are also food allergies, high in breast milk. Flatulence can occur at any time, but it generally has little effect on the baby, and the gas can be relieved.

Colic can appear in the evening or at night and last for 1-2 hours or even longer; Generally, it starts 2 weeks after the baby is born, reaches a peak at about 6 weeks, and lasts for 3-4 months, or even about 6 months.

In short, flatulence is mostly mild and is a manifestation of colic. It can be relieved by helping your baby pass gas, and colic can torment your child, so you need to see a doctor. Both of these conditions occur when the baby is two or three months old, but flatulence usually occurs at night.

Babies with bloating stomach tend to cry at night, and at the same time have symptoms of restlessness, flushing, crooked legs, and smelly farts.

In addition, a small amount of stool may be brought out when you fart, and there is obvious flatulence in the stomach when pressed; In addition, when the baby has a bowel movement, it is very laborious, and the stool is loose and foamy, and there are many times. Babies with colic are more pronounced, and the time is uncertain. They may cry loudly and suddenly, which may last for several hours, or they may have intermittent episodes.

When crying, the baby's face is red, the mouth is white, the abdomen is swollen, and there is a feeling of tightness.

At the same time, his legs will curl up, his feet will be cold, and his fists will clench, which will be difficult to relieve whether he is feeding or holding. Babies often cry heartbreakingly and may eventually stop because they have a bowel movement, fart, or crying too tired to sleep; At the same time, after falling asleep, you may not sleep well, you may cry, have difficulty defecation, and often spit up milk.

If the child's abdomen has unbearable pain and obvious indigestion, it means intestinal colic, if the abdomen is bulging and he farts frequently, it means intestinal flatulence; Eat foods that are easy to digest, drink plenty of water, and get a proper massage.

If the baby has a rumbling belly, a lot of gas, a sickly fart, and frequent unexplained crying, this may be a sign of colic; Massage the baby's belly frequently, let the gas in the baby's body be discharged, and do auxiliary passive exercises for the baby, if the stomach colic is frequent and serious, you need to find a professional pediatrician to prescribe it in time.

First of all, the cause of the disease is different, intestinal colic is because of arteriosclerosis or arteritis accumulated into the blood vessels, mainly the superior mesenteric artery, resulting in the narrowing and blocking of the opening of the superior mesenteric artery, so that the patient's intestinal blood volume and demand will increase after eating, and the stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery will lead to relative ischemia and hypoxia of the intestine, and intestinal spasm will produce obvious abdominal pain. In fact, intestinal flatulence is mainly caused by local intestinal flatulence, which has nothing to do with arteries and blood vessels. In terms of symptoms, the symptoms of colic are more serious, often severe pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, but intestinal flatulence is mainly a feeling of bloating.

The relief methods are also different, the relief of colic requires the release of the narrowing of the blood vessels, the drugs that dilate the blood vessels, the anticoagulant drugs and even the need for stent implantation surgery, but for intestinal flatulence is mainly exhaust, severe gastrointestinal decompression can be carried out, and under normal circumstances, drugs that enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis can be relieved by drugs that promote exhaust.

Colic and flatulence, both of which are due to lesions that occur in the small intestines, should be taken to the hospital for treatment when faced with this disease.

The pain is different, and the way is also different, parents must have a reasonable massage when they encounter this situation, and they can go to the hospital for examination and take appropriate drugs.

Every parent wants to let their children grow up physically and mentally healthy and happy, but some health problems will inevitably occur in the process of children's growth, especially for relatively young babies.

Neonatal colic is something that every baby will experience, but some parents will mistake this kind of disease for flatulence, and then apply methods to relieve flatulence, but it does not have all the practical effects, it is natural, because these diseases themselves are not a characteristic. Today, I will tell you about the difference between flatulence and neonatal colic, and beginner parents must study hard.

First, let's talk about flatulence. Flatulence is easy to produce, because for the hungry baby, he is very easy to inhale too much gas in the case of drinking milk, if the parents do not exhaust the child on time, then the baby will have flatulence, the actual main manifestation is not honest in sleeping, it is very easy to cry and make trouble, and the baby always has a stinky fart, and the stinky fart will bring a little feces, which is mainly because the baby's stomach vapor is too much, endangering the child's human comfort, It will also continue to cause styrofoam bowel movements, severe constipation and other conditions, which are all caused by flatulence.

Let's take a look at the symptoms of colic, the symptoms of neonatal colic are more serious than flatulence, which will generally make the baby experience lower abdominal pain, such as falling asleep and suddenly crying and making noise, which has been going on for a long time and cannot be stable, the onset of neonatal colic is generally a burst, the baby will have a dry face in the case of crying and fussing, cold feet, and the musculature of the abdominal cavity will be very anxious. Neither soothing nor breastfeeding can alleviate it, and leakage may occur. Therefore, parents must effectively distinguish which kind of their baby belongs to, and then find a suitable way to alleviate the symptoms of this kind of disease, so that they can reduce the child's physical discomfort, and must not blindly distinguish, otherwise it will endanger the child's physical condition.

1.First of all, the main symptom of colic is intestinal colic, and the pain is intense. The main symptoms of intestinal flatulence are bloating and indigestion, and the pain is not particularly intense.

2.Secondly, the causes of colic and flatulence are also different, and the causes of colic are mostly caused by spasm of the smooth muscle of the intestinal wall, which may be directly related to poor eating habits and cold. There are many causes of intestinal flatulence, such as chronic enteritis, intestinal parasitic diseases, and abnormal function of other organs.

It can be judged according to the condition of the stomach, and it should be determined according to the gas, and colic is not a lot of gas.

It needs to be determined according to the physical condition of the child, in general, flatulence occurs, the belly will be relatively large, and you can go to the hospital for examination.

The duration of the child's pain is different, one usually occurs after eating, and the other has no time limit.

1. What is the difference between baby flatulence and colic, and how should novice parents distinguish it?

2. How to relieve intestinal flatulence and intestinal colic?

The pain of the baby's intestinal flatulence is not so intense, if there is intestinal colic, the baby will have unbearable abdominal pain, and novice parents must pay attention. If your child is unwell, go to the hospital in time.

You can distinguish from the baby's expression, state, degree of crying, state during sleep, appetite, and poop pulled out, whether it is intestinal flatulence or colic.

The symptoms of colic are more pronounced, and severe symptoms appear after 15 minutes, while the symptoms of bloating are loss of appetite and easy palpitation and shortness of breath.

The onset of the disease is different, the symptoms are different, the manifestations are different, the causes of the onset are different, and the time is different.

The discomfort of colic is more pronounced than with gas. People with colic experience paroxysmal pain, which is mainly caused by an irregular diet, intestinal obstruction, or insufficient blood supply to the intestines. The discomfort of intestinal colic is more obvious than intestinal distension pain, intestinal colic is manifested as more paroxysmal pain, which is caused by intestinal spasm more, and can be seen in the following conditions such as irregular diet, insufficient blood supply, intestinal obstruction, and intestinal tract.

Intestinal flatulence refers to the feeling of abdominal distension, severe times there is a feeling of abdominal pain, often accompanied by abdominal distension, the sound of gas flow in the abdominal cavity, common in improper diet, slow gastrointestinal peristalsis, intestinal obstruction, the location of the pain is not fixed, and the intestinal flatulence can be relieved after the gas is discharged.

**The method is also different, flatulence generally chooses to improve diet and lifestyle habits, and if necessary, oral drugs to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. Colic indicates that the condition is serious, and it is necessary to pay attention to it and go to the Department of Gastroenterology as soon as possible, except for intestinal obstruction, intestinal ischemic infarction and other diseases. The common manifestations of neonatal flatulence are abdominal distention, belching, abdominal discomfort, and poor appetite, and the common manifestations of neonatal colic are sudden crying, bending the knees, clenching fists, and red face and ears.

Neonatal intestinal flatulence is not self-limiting and needs to be aggressive**; Neonatal colic is a self-limiting condition, most of which can be completely ** by 3 to 4 months of age. The causes of colic and flatulence in newborns may be similar, but the symptoms are different. In colic, the child may have paroxysmal episodes of intense crying accompanied by dryness and restlessness.

Intestinal flatulence in newborns is different, and some intestinal flatulence is physiological, such as accompanied by intestinal colic; There are some pathologies, such as some intestinal diseases, most commonly intestinal dysdigestion, necrotizing enterocolitis, intestinal obstruction, or neonatal infection.

1. Intestinal flatulence generally causes the stomach to bulge. Second, babies with flatulence love to fart. 3. Colic is more painful than flatulence. Fourth, intestinal colic comes and goes. Fifth, flatulence babies have bad breath.

There is a difference between infant flatulence and infantile colic, flatulence: babies cry in the evening, often fart, and also fart when they defecate, making it difficult to defecate; Colic pain: crying in the evening, cold hands and feet, redness of the face, farting, etc.

How to relieve intestinal colic in babies who are more than a month old? I will teach you my baby's personal experience, my baby was also intestinal flatulence, colic, after drinking milk, the stomach bulged, howling and crying, no matter how coaxed, and then the belly bulged up such a big bag of table tennis balls, that's good, do the following things. Don't give your child too much to eat, it's definitely uncomfortable to be fed too much gas, you can eat less and less, don't shake the milk, so that there will be more and more foam in the milk, and the baby will have excess gas in the stomach after drinking, it is best to beat some air in the milk bottle before and after rubbing it with your fingers.

Hold the baby on the plane or let the baby crawl on your belly, so that the baby will be much better, I really can't at that time I will lie down and let the baby crawl on top of me so that she doesn't cry, and after a while she falls asleep, maybe crawling on my belly to warm up, or safe enough. Rubbing the abdomen for the baby, exhausting, although it is eaten or edema after use, but it has to be said that this action is the most effective, no matter who passes through this, you will find that as the baby's digestive system is enhanced every day, slowly not puffy, experience the baby firsthand, I hope it will help you. Lactose intolerant babies lack or do not have lactase, an enzyme that breaks down lactose, so babies can't fully digest the lactose in breast milk, causing diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, crying, vomiting, and other symptoms!

We can test the baby's stool to determine if the baby is lactose intolerant, and if the stool test is negative, reducing sugar is positive, and a low pH indicates lactose intolerance.

If there is lactose intolerance, we can do this: If the baby's bowel movements are not much, or the crying time is not long, the baby's growth and development is normal, you can temporarily do not need to deal with it, after five months of gradual addition of food, the reduction of milk intake will gradually ease. Lactose-free formula can be used first, and after the diarrhea has resolved or completely improved, gradually add the amount of breast milk to a balanced point, and then use this amount to support the mixture of breast milk and lactose-free formula.

We can choose another milk alternative: soy milk, which is made from milk powder with soybeans as the main raw material. Soy is lactose-free, and soy protein is the main protein that can also support the growth and development of infants.

Yogurt, yogurt is fermented milk powder, lactic acid bacteria will break down most of the lactose into lactic acid, reducing the symptoms of lactose intolerance, but yogurt needs to be refrigerated, and the baby needs to be heated before feeding. Pediatric massage can be used to help your baby recover gastrointestinal function quickly.
