Patient's question:
My child is six years old. A few days ago, he ate toy magnetic rods. At first, he was still having bowel movements, but now he hasn't had a bowel movement for three days. If he doesn't have a bowel movement, the toys won't come out. What medicine can I give him to make him defecate quickly? He has eaten everything he should have.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation described, it is still not known how big the toy is. If it is not very big, it may be able to come out with the stool. It is recommended to take a abdominal X-ray for the child to check if they have actually ingested the toy. Also, it is advisable to give the child more vegetables and fruits, such as bananas, dragon fruits, chives, etc., to promote bowel movement and help it come out. Additionally, if there are any abnormal symptoms such as abdominal pain, it is important to seek follow-up medical attention promptly.
