Patient's question:
My baby, who is two and a half months old, has not eaten for seven hours in the past week. From 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. today, she only consumed 100 milliliters of milk. Whenever she is fed, she cries and refuses to eat, but her spirits are good and she loves to laugh. She hasn't had a bowel movement for three days. We used soap to help her have a formed soft stool.Previous treatment and effectiveness:
Half a month ago, she took medicine for poor digestion.
Help needed:
How should I handle this?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is most likely due to food stagnation that your baby is not interested in eating. If your baby hasn't had a bowel movement for three days, it's best to use a glycerin suppository to help with defecation. First and foremost, it's important to maintain regular bowel movements to effectively resolve the issue of food stagnation. You can visit the hospital to obtain various Chinese herbal medicines that aid in absorption. As long as these two problems are addressed, your baby will naturally start to eat again.
