Patient's question:
Baby is 49 days old. His bowel movements were originally once a day, but diarrhea just started to improve 4 days ago. Now, he hasn't had a bowel movement for the past two days. It's really worrying! What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is a symptom of constipation, often triggered by factors such as internal heat, improper feeding, and others. Since the baby is young, medication should not be recommended. It is important to drink more water, and you can add a small amount of honey to the water for its fire-clearing and bowel-moistening effects. Regular abdominal massage for the baby can also promote digestion and improve gastrointestinal function.There are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases. If the 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 the child and maintain a balanced diet.
