Patient's question:
My baby is two months old. I give him a lot of boiled water every day, but he still suffers from constipation. So I used glycerin suppositories, but after using them for half a month and stopping, he still can't have a bowel movement. Is there a dependency? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is not acceptable. Long-term use of glycerin suppositories can affect the baby's own defecation function. Over time, he may become unable to use his own strength. It is recommended to gradually reduce the use of glycerin suppositories. You can give him some digestive enzymes and supplement the beneficial bacteria in the intestines. When bathing, gently massage his abdomen in a clockwise direction, and drink more warm water. There are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to treat it promptly, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
