Patient's question:
My baby is five and a half months old and hasn't had a bowel movement for three days. She has been exclusively breastfed, but I've recently given her some apple water. In the first week, I also fed her some scrambled eggs. Recently, I've been feeling a bit feverish, and I'm still catching a cold.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: She used to have one to two bowel movements a day, and there was no treatment involved.
Help needed: What should I do in this situation?
Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition is likely related to your cold, medication, and stomach issues. Once your symptoms improve, your child's condition should also improve. Therefore, the root solution must start with the adult. It is recommended to give your child more water, fresh vegetable juice, and fresh fruit juice. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can also give your child some medication to help them have a bowel movement quickly.
