Patient's question:
Newborn 22 days old, meconium is normal, but later does not defecate well. Probiotics did not help. An experienced midwife suggested taking two types of medicine: Xiaorihou Granules and Azithromycin Granules. I am not sure if I can take these two types of medicine.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, newborn babies cannot take medication casually. They should not be given Xiaoxiao Yan Granules or Azithromycin. If the baby is reluctant to defecate, it may be due to poor digestion. If the baby is feeding normally and has no abdominal pain, it could also be due to constipation. It is recommended to feed appropriately and can help the baby with abdominal massage to promote gastrointestinal movement and aid in absorption. Warm your hands, and perform clockwise massage around the umbilical area, with each group consisting of 20-30 repetitions, 2-3 times a day. You can also take probiotics for a period of time to help re-regulate.
