Patient's question:
My baby has been constipated for 7 months. Now, she basically defecates once a day, but the time is not fixed. Each time, the stool has black clumps at the beginning, like sheep poop. The stool is large at the head and small at the tail, thicker than what an adult would pass. Each time, she can defecate completely, but there is always one or two drops of blood flowing out, and it is difficult to defecate.Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you mentioned, it is mainly caused by the accumulation of heat in the stomach and intestines, consumption of body fluids, and stagnation of waste matter, leading to constipation. It is recommended to clear heat, moisturize the intestines, and promote bowel movement. Medications such as cod liver oil, honey, and suppositories can be used. Drink more water and maintain a light diet.Constipation in children has long been a concern for parents. When treating this condition, it is advisable to consider general treatment. Parents must use the correct methods to help children recover from the illness as soon as possible, so as not to affect their growth and development. Therefore, it is hoped that after a child falls ill, parents will take immediate action to help them recover.
