Patient's question:
Patient is male. 1 year old, previously in good condition.Current condition:
1. A little bit of vomiting milk, some dry coughing upon waking up.
2. Passing gas with a slightly foul odor, and sometimes looking uncomfortable.
Doctor's answer:
Babies often suffer from constipation due to improper diet, so when a baby is constipated, mothers should not panic. They can try adjusting the baby's diet and other methods to treat constipation.Some infants are accustomed to having a bowel movement every 2-3 days. As long as the stool is not hard and there are no difficulties or discomfort, it is not considered constipation, and no treatment is necessary. For newborns and small infants who primarily consume milk, water, light salt water, or diluted vegetable juice should be given between feedings. Each time, 20-30 milliliters should be given to alter intestinal osmotic pressure and promote bowel movement.
