Patient's question:
My son is 44 days old. Recently, his bowel movements are green, sticky, and very difficult to pass, like they are dry but not completely dry—just green and viscous. Why does it take so long to use force before defecating? It feels similar to urinating, and he doesn’t urinate very much.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. Based on the description, it's important to be aware of the possibilities caused by digestive disorders such as indigestion, as well as those caused by intestinal infections. This situation also requires attention to the possibility of other abnormal manifestations, such as fever, nausea, and vomiting, as well as the child's crying.First and foremost, it's essential to stabilize emotions, get adequate rest, and take probiotics or other medications for treatment. The umbilical area can be treated with pediatric umbilical paste for diarrhea. If necessary, seek medical advice from a pediatric department in a formal hospital, including tests such as routine stool analysis, blood tests, and MRI data. Based on the test results, appropriate treatment measures should be formulated. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery.
