Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Cause And Treatment For Bloated Stomach With Appetite Loss?
My two year old son appears to have a bloated/distended stomach. He had one hard stool today and then another loose stool immediately following. He seems to be eating a little less than normal and drinking as much as he usually does. He is playing and doesn't appear to be in too much pain, but didn't really want to get out of bed after his nap this afternoon. He has no fever and isn't showing any real signs of discomfort as it relates to his distended belly. Is the bloated belly something to worry about?
Thanks for your question. I would like to know about his daily intake.well bloating tells about gaseous tendanciesand hence mild decrease in appetite. Please start him on easily digestable food like rice, curds, salads, fruits and leafy vegges. Kindly avoid junk food, noodles and any stuff made up of refined wheat. Whole wheat would be better. As of now you can start 1. Syrup zinc for 14 days. 2. Econorm sachet for 5 days. Slowly stools will normalize. Also with no fever though infection is unlikely , please keep watch for loose motions.
