What is the situation if the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for four days at 50 days old?

Patient's question:

My baby is 50 days old and hasn't had a bowel movement for four days. I've given them Mucilage Clear Fire Liquid and plenty of water, but it hasn't helped. What should I do? I've also used an enema once, but the stool was still loose.
Previous Treatment and Effects:
- No treatment has been administered yet.
Kind of Help Needed:
- Medical advice.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it's important to consider possible causes such as digestive issues in the baby, improper feeding, or insufficient intestinal motility. Pay attention to drinking more water and eating fresh vegetables and fruits. You can also perform clockwise abdominal massage, and take oral Zangling Mulberry Leaf and Perilla Seed Sugar, which contains a large amount of intestinal probiotics. These probiotics can stimulate intestinal movement, enhance the moisture of stool, maintain a certain osmotic pressure, and help with bowel movements. The above suggestions are for the question "My baby is 50 days old and hasn't had a bowel movement for four days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
