Patient's question:
A 1.5-year-old baby has dry and hard stools, and they defecate once every two days (divided into two to three times, all of which are like these stool balls). It has been a year, and previously eating dragon fruit would make it better for a day. Now eating fruits also has no effect. What should be done?: Baby is breastfed, mother has a tendency to get hot easily.
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described above, this baby's constipation is too severe. It is recommended that the mother follow a light diet. The baby can now be introduced to solid foods, and it is suggested to feed more coarse grains, a little sesame oil, and bifidobacteria to regulate the digestive system. Breastfeeding can be stopped. It is recommended to drink more water appropriately, such as sufficient amounts of honey water or juice to promote bowel movement. Abdominal massage can be performed to enhance intestinal peristalsis. Appropriate amounts of vegetables and fruits should be consumed, and if constipation is difficult to relieve, an enema can be used.
