Patient's question:
Medical Description: Eating and sleeping normally, is it a case of heat? Haven't had a bowel movement for 2 days, and the abdomen is slightly bloated. Past Treatment and Effect: Many small red pimples on the face and head, probably heat rash. I bought a box of Weiqi's Baby Clear Stool yesterday and mixed it with milk to drink. I also used honeysuckle to wash his face. Desired Help: Mainly unable to have a bowel movement, what is the cause? What should I do? Please help the doctor provide some suggestions. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello! A full-moon baby having a bowel movement 2-3 times a day or every 2-3 days is normal, as long as the child shows no crying, no abdominal distension, and normal anal. Treatment may not be necessary. You can gently massage the child's abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal peristalsis and aid in bowel movement. If the child is breastfed, adults can consume more rough fiber foods like chives and celery. The child has just completed the full moon, and not having a bowel movement for two days may indicate some constipation due to "internal heat." It's important to pay attention to care. Give the child more water.
