Baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 15 days, what should I do?

Patient's question:

My baby is 5 months and 15 days old and hasn't had a bowel movement. Can I give him some honey water when he wakes up in the morning? Should I give him cold or warm honey water? Is warm honey water less effective for bowel movements?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to assist you. Based on the situation you described, your child is five months old and hasn't had a bowel movement for 15 days. You can give them honey water. Preliminary judgment suggests gastrointestinal dysfunction. According to the information you provided and the medical history: the patient is considered to have gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to give your child oral probiotics and Baohe Granules. Pay attention to your child's diet, eat more easily digestible foods, and be mindful of preventing colds. Lightly massage the abdomen.
