Doctor's answer:
According to your current reappearance, the main consideration is the slowing down of intestinal peristalsis. It is suggested to pay attention to drinking more water and can implement clockwise abdominal massage. If necessary, you can take Qizhen Dan or fresh bamboo juice for conditioning. Avoid long-term use of Guaishilu. As long as the baby has normal bowel movements, normal diet, and good spirits, there is no need to worry.
