Patient's question:
A eleven-month-old baby hasn't had a bowel movement for five or six days. When they try to poop, they can't, and they cry straight away. What should I do?Treatment history and effectiveness: I used glycerin suppositories, but I'm afraid to use them now. Currently, I'm taking Hi Protec probiotics. What kind of help do I need: I've been giving her a lot of water every day, and she eats a lot of fruit juice and vegetables, but it hasn't worked. How should I regulate it better? Thank you
Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old child has not urinated for five or six days, and when defecating, the stool is dry and difficult to pass. There are crying symptoms. In this case, it is likely caused by constipation. You can use a sharpened bar of soap to insert into the rectum to stimulate defecation. Focus on feeding the baby with Hi-probiotics, and ensure they drink plenty of water and juice. Additionally, if the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid spicy, greasy, or easily upsetting foods. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
