Patient's question:
The baby is six months old. Starting from the fourth month, rice porridge, egg yolk, and other complementary foods were added to the milk. The baby's bowel movements are regular and in good condition. However, now the baby doesn't like to drink milk anymore. After adding vegetable puree and rice porridge, the bowel movements have become dry and hard, and sometimes the baby has small, hard stools. Is there any way to relieve constipation?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you mentioned, it is mainly due to the accumulation of heat in the stomach and intestines, leading to the consumption of body fluids, which results in constipation. Treatment should focus on clearing heat, moistening the intestines, and promoting bowel movement. You can take cod liver oil, honey, and drink more water. Local abdominal massage can also be used for treatment.There are many factors that can cause pediatric endocrine diseases.
