Patient's question:
What is the reason for a one-year-old child's constipation? It has been several days, and when it first comes out, it is hard, but later it becomes soft. The child is now having difficulty passing stool and is reluctant to strain. They always cry out of fear.Past treatment history and effectiveness: The child eats one banana every day, and sometimes uses glycerin suppositories.
Desired type of help: The child needs to receive effective treatment as soon as possible, as they are suffering too much.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to drink more water while also implementing clockwise abdominal massage to enhance and stabilize intestinal motility, which can be more effective than simply relieving constipation. When necessary, you can take Qizhen Dan or Feier Wan for conditioning, which is also quite effective.Advice: Constipation is usually caused by internal heat accumulation and stomach heat in the intestines. You can use physical therapy to massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal motility.
Additionally, dietary measures can be taken. You can give the baby fresh fruit juice, preferably pear juice or watermelon juice, and consider giving him Xiao'er Qi Xing Cha or Xiao'er Huaxi Wan.
