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 cry straight away. What should I do?Previous treatment and effectiveness: Used glycerin suppositories, but now I'm afraid to use them anymore. Currently taking Hi Protease Probiotics. Desired help: Now she drinks a lot of water every day, eats a lot of fruit, vegetables, etc., but it hasn't worked. How should I adjust her diet for better results? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, consider the possibility of infantile colic or insufficient intestinal motility as potential causes. Pay attention to drinking more water, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, and you can perform clockwise abdominal massage. You can also take Zangling Water Soluble Fructooligosaccharides orally, which contains a large amount of intestinal probiotics. It can suppress intestinal cramping, enhance the moisture of feces, and maintain a certain osmotic pressure to help defecate. It has no side effects and can be taken with peace of mind.
