Patient's question:
My child hasn't had a bowel movement for 8 days, but he does have urine and passes gas, just no bowel movement.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to drink more water and engage in appropriate exercise, eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume high-fiber foods. Medications can be used for symptomatic treatment, or suppositories can be used for severe constipation. Abdominal massage can also be performed. There are many triggers for pediatric digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
