Patient's question:
The baby has been eating complementary foods for 3 days and hasn't had a bowel movement for 4 days. Even after taking probiotics, it didn't help. Using soap to stimulate the rectum also didn't work. What should I do? The baby is only 6 months old and has just started eating complementary foods. They haven't had fruit or vegetable purees yet.Doctor's answer:
The baby is eating complementary foods for the first time. It hasn't had a bowel movement for four days now. Currently, I don't know about the child's dietary and mental conditions. If the baby is in good spirits and has a normal appetite, and if there is anal, then the problem isn't serious. You can prepare glycerin suppositories for the child. Use a very small amount for rectal administration and pay attention to giving the child more water. You can also give the child some vegetable and fruit purees. If the baby still can't have a bowel movement, it's recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if the baby hasn't had a bowel movement for three days after eating complementary foods for four days?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
