Patient's question:
Hello, doctors. My child is only 1.5 years old. He has difficulty defecating, with dry stools and blood in the stool. We have taken him to the hospital for examination, and the doctor has given him an enema and used glycerin suppositories, but it hasn't helped. The doctor said we should pay attention to diet, but we have been doing so and it hasn't improved. I don't know what to do. Please advise the doctors. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Constipation in children is often due to internal heat. Drinking more water can be supplemented with a little honey water. Correcting constipation requires encouraging children to drink more water, eat more vegetables, and eat more fruits. Encouraging children to exercise more can promote intestinal movement, which is beneficial for bowel movement. It's important to establish a regular bowel movement routine by having children defecate at the same time every day. When necessary, oral administration of Qizhen Dan can be used for treatment. Additionally, using an enema suppository can help alleviate symptoms.
