Patient's question:
What could be the reason for the child's constipation starting from the time they stopped breastfeeding? After stopping breastfeeding, the child has been consuming Dantang formula and Dumex formula. Now, at three weeks old, the child is still experiencing this issue. Additionally, there are polyps in the child's anus.Doctor's answer:
According to the child's condition description, it is mainly about the recurrence of constipation. Currently, the focus is on consulting about the cause and further solutions.1. Constipation recurrence is relatively common in formula-fed babies. Switching to another formula may alleviate the constipation. Additionally, providing appropriate complementary foods may also help relieve constipation.
2. For acute constipation, it is recommended not to let the baby strain during bowel movements. Suppositories (like glycerin suppositories) can be used to relieve constipation.
3. Oral treatment with the traditional Chinese medicine Baoci Pill may help alleviate recurrent constipation and other related issues.
