Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what could be the reason for the baby having fewer bowel movements?Doctor's answer:
Hello, baby. Generally speaking, it's normal to have one bowel movement a day. Otherwise, it should not exceed twice or two days. Too much or too little may indicate gastrointestinal dysfunction. There are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
