13 year old Daughter. Has really bad Trapped Wind.
She's in pain & has bad stomach cramps. Also bloated.
Given her a Hot Water Bottle - hasn't helped at all.
Will massaging her stomach help ?

Are you sure it is gas? If you are positive you can get her some Mylicon or anything else with simethicone in it. This will break up the gas. If you aren't sure and she's in this much pain you should take her to be checked out. She could have an ovarian cyst, appendicitis, or an intestinal issue. Has she been ill lately? Could be food poisoning also. Good luck!

God you feel for your little one dont you? I can swear by infacol as my son who is now 5 months old was on this from about 5 weeks to about 17 weeks and it made all the difference. Make sure to give befor each and every feed, it is vital that you are consistant with the doage wich can be 5ml/10ml which is either 1 or 2 full syringe worths. Infacal is something which you can use long term every day, you do not need to worry about it it is not like a proper medicine or anything. Some tips to help you help your baby with the trapped wind would be to make sure you feed him/her as upright as possible, increase the amount of times you are windind throughout the feed, make sure the teat of the bottle is at the correct position which is just having the teat itself in the babys mouth as its easy for the remainder to slip in a little [thats if ur baby is bottlefed]. Good luck, Infacal is fantastic at breaking up the wind trapped from both ends! You can get this on prescription from your doctor too.

heres the secret to trapped wind,
1.) lie on your back,
2.) put your feet on the floor with you knees bent
3.) wait for the magic to happen. lmao
I suggest you get her to a doctor to prescribe her something, it doesn't hurt to be careful. Massaging her stomach wont really do much for her, ir she can't pass the gas herself then maybe she needs some tablets to help break it down. Does she hold the gas in?

If you're not absolutely sure that it's gas and if the pain gets worse please bring her to a doctor.
This type of pain could be a lot of other things such as appendicitis, ovarian/uterine problems, gastroenteritis, bowel obstruction, etc.
