Patient's question:
My baby is 72 days old and has been having abnormal bowel movements for the past half month. A few days ago, he had diarrhea for three days, and after that, he didn't have a bowel movement for four days. I gave him a glycerin suppository, and he passed green stool. Now, he hasn't had a bowel movement for four more days. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In this case, having infants with gastrointestinal digestive function disorders, after nausea and vomiting, the intestinal mucosa will reflectively increase secretion, leading to constipation again. It is recommended to adjust the diet, increase the amount of milk dissolved, and if breastfeeding, the mother should control her diet, avoiding spicy, extremely cold, and greasy foods. Persist in regular daily bowel movements, and it will get better with habituation. The above is advice for the question "My baby is 72 days old and has been having abnormal bowel movements for the past half month, what should I do?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
