Question
What symptoms may occur with infant abdominal distension?
Answer
Common causes and symptoms of infant abdominal distension include eating too fast, an unsuitable size of the nipple hole, excessive crying, fermentation of food in the digestive tract producing gas, and consuming foods high in gas. These may be accompanied by symptoms such as tense abdominal muscles, difficulty in defecation, and a hollow sound when tapping the abdomen. Long-term abdominal distension accompanied by symptoms like bald spots on the head and delayed teething may indicate a calcium deficiency.
