#asktheexpert Hi sir, my baby swallowed hair, and I can see that in poop. yesterday she was crying so badly, would this hair be the reason? and should I be worried that it might cause any issues with her

Question

Accepted Answer

not due to hair
from your history it appears that your child is having colic pain due to gas in abdomen

in colic pain you can give anti colic medicines like colicaid 0.5 ml to the child and this medicine can be given maximum three or four times per day but to prevent this problem kindly do regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes.
do not kee ep the child back on the bed after one burping (all gas is not removed with one burping)

during the colic episode you can do stomach massage and limb cycling movements and if the child is more than 2 months of age you can give tummy time also.
advisable to learn more about it from your doctor.

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. There is no side effect as such. Please watch for any abnormal symptoms like fever or vomiting in the baby. If it’s there then it is advisable to get the baby evaluated by a doctor and follow doctors advise properly. Else no need to panic. Please increase water intake of the baby.  Thanks and take care
