Patient's question:
Since the baby was full moon, he hasn't had a bowel movement for many days. Every time it's been 4 or 5 days since his last bowel movement, he needs to be given a glycerin suppository to have a bowel movement, and each time he has a lot of bowel movements. The first few times were normal, but this time his bowel movement is a bit green. What's going on? Is it normal to have a bowel movement every 4 or 5 days like this?Medical history and treatment effectiveness: Is it normal to have a bowel movement every 4 or 5 days like this?
Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, it should be said that she has been constipated for 4 or 5 days each time, which is not normal. Moreover, you had to give her an enema for her to have a bowel movement, which proves that constipation has occurred again. It is necessary to identify the cause of the constipation and provide timely treatment. Constipation, of course, can be due to intestinal heat, which is an issue of the intestines being troubled. Since the child is a pure yang body, if they are consuming milk, it is generally recommended to add a heat-clearing formula to the milk to alleviate internal heat. Additionally, it is important to give the child more water to drink. Wishing the child a speedy recovery!!
