Patient's question:
Three days ago, everything was normal, including bowel movements. I only ate a small half bowl of porridge each time and was breastfed. Today has been the third day, and I haven't had a bowel movement or eaten anything. I've only been drinking water and breastfeeding.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to carefully check for the possibility of zinc deficiency and potential digestive issues. Consider taking oral gluconate of zinc and Shanmai Jianpi oral liquid. To ensure the child eats well, attention should also be paid to the methods used. Some children have picky eating habits, which can cause parents to become anxious. In an effort to coax the child to eat dinner, some parents use toys to distract them, while others allow them to play while eating... Excessive indulgence by parents and a lack of understanding of proper feeding methods are also direct causes of children's picky eating.Guidance: Create a relatively quiet environment for the child to defecate, allowing them to do so comfortably and happily. The digestive system is affected by emotions; stress can lead to reduced appetite. Therefore, when the child is defecating, adults should avoid loud laughter or joking, and absolutely refrain from teasing or instructing them to do this or that.
