What should I do if the baby can't be pulled down?

Patient's question:

The baby cannot poop properly; it cries every time it tries. Previously, it drank milk from a bottle, but after having a high fever once, it no longer needed the bottle and also refused to drink water.
Past Treatment and Effects:
No treatment has been administered.
Desired Help:
I would like to see what the child's condition is like.

Doctor's answer:

Children with constipation should drink more water. For breastfed babies, mothers should pay attention to adjusting their dietary structure, focus on light eating, and also drink more water.
Recommendation: Gently massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction with the palm of your hand, starting from the navel and moving from left to right in a circular motion. Perform 10 massages, rest for 5 minutes, then do another 10 massages. Repeat this process 3 times. If the baby still doesn't relieve themselves after several days, you can use infant glycerin suppositories.
