How to handle dry stools in a 7-month-old baby

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How should I handle constipation in a 7-month-old baby?

Doctor's answer:

According to the symptoms you mentioned, the main cause of constipation is the accumulation of heat in the stomach and intestines, consumption of body fluids, and the retention of waste materials. Treatment should focus on clearing heat, moistening the intestines, and promoting bowel movement. Medications such as honey and cod liver oil can be used.
There are many reasons for pediatric digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should follow a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
