What should I do if my baby only has a bowel movement every two or three days?

Patient's question:

An eight-month-old baby has recently been having bowel movements only every two or three days and struggling to pass them. Even after using glycerin suppositories, they still have to strain hard, and the stool comes out in clumps.

Doctor's answer:

For the situation you described, it should be considered that the current discomfort symptoms are likely caused by digestive issues related to having children. For such problems, it is advisable to give the child targeted digestive aid medications, such as Lizhu Changle Capsules or Jinduangiqi Tablets, to alleviate the symptoms. It is important to avoid frequent use of suppositories like Gua Sha as much as possible. If necessary, Lactulose Oral Solution can be used in conjunction for treatment.
