Patient's question:
2 months ago, I didn't have a bowel movement for 6 or 7 days and kept using laxatives. I tried eating everything cold, but it didn't help. What should I do?Test results: Everything said it was due to "internal heat" and didn't help, so some medicine was prescribed to adjust it.
Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to the fact that the symptoms you described in the four-and-a-half-month-old baby are caused by weak colon function. Simply adjusting your diet has little effect on the child's current symptoms. It is recommended that you give the child oral medication, such as probiotics, to regulate the intestinal function. At the same time, it is suggested to provide a pureed food for the four-and-a-half-month-old baby (note that it must be pureed and not juice, etc.). Because vegetable puree and fruit puree (celery and bananas are the best, as they contain coarse fiber) contain fiber and pectin, which can absorb moisture, bulk up stool, and promote intestinal movement. This not only provides the child with the necessary nutrients for rapid growth and development but also helps to moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements. At the same time, pay attention to the child's condition. You can mix half a spoonful of honey and half a spoonful of sesame oil, and give the child a couple of sips to promote bowel movements. You can then give the child another drink after many days have passed.
