Patient's question:
The baby is nine days old and hasn't had a bowel movement for three days. What should I do? On the first day of birth, the baby had four bowel movements of meconium, and once on the second day. Then, for four consecutive days, the baby didn't have a bowel movement. I used a soap stick to help the baby pass stool once, and it came out in a big bubble. Shortly after that day, the baby had another bowel movement. I thought it was okay, but three more days have passed, and the baby still hasn't had a bowel movement. What should I do? The baby doesn't cry or fuss, and has a good appetite. The stomach isn't bloated.Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering constipation, you can try drinking more boiled water. If necessary, use children's Glycerin Suppositories for treatment. If there are symptoms of a cold, it should be treated simultaneously. Taking Children's Fast-acting Cold Medicine is effective. Pay attention to keeping warm.There are many factors that can cause digestive diseases in children.

The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
