Patient's question:
I haven't had a bowel movement for five days. What are the symptoms? It's almost always like this. I've taken probiotics, but they haven't been effective. I want to know what the symptoms are. Do I need to see a doctor?Doctor's answer:
A one-year-old and four-month-old baby hasn't had a bowel movement for five days. This is constipation. It is recommended to use infant glycerin suppositories to relieve constipation, drink more hot water, and can take Du Huaji oral liquid. Eat more fruits, such as bananas and apples, and can drink a little honey water to promote bowel movement. It can also be combined with taking some traditional Chinese medicine preparations, such as Baochi pills. Pay attention to the baby's diet as well. Some hot and spicy foods should definitely not be given to the baby.
