Patient's question:
The baby has been born for one month, and hasn't had a bowel movement for four days. The gas is smelly, and the baby often twists and turns their body, trying to push out a bowel movement, but it never comes out. In the past two days, the amount of milk they drink has even increased by half. We have tried abdominal massage and probiotics, but it hasn't helped. The baby's vomit contains white substances, like undigested milk powder. Should we take them to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the main consideration for the child is poor gastrointestinal function leading to digestive symptoms. I suggest you don't get anxious. Make sure to pay attention to keeping your baby's abdomen warm and preventing cold exposure. You can give the child oral probiotics for regulation! The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby hasn't had a bowel movement for 4 days after birth?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
