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-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me how traditional Chinese medicine treats a four-month-old baby who isn't pooping?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is considered a manifestation of insufficient body fluids, leading to the intestines lacking nourishment, resulting in dry stools. It is recommended to use the honey decoction method, which is effective and has no side effects: you can heat honey until it can be picked up with a chopstick, then shape it into a cylindrical shape, about 2-3 centimeters long and finger-thick when hot, and place one in the anus before going to bed every day. A two-week course is recommended.
