Patient's question:
Last week, the baby started having diarrhea, which made me very anxious. I saw a doctor and took medication. We stopped formula feeding, as the baby had just weaned. We added some rice porridge and diarrhea formula each day. After a week of diarrhea, it stopped, but then the baby had two days without a bowel movement. When she finally did, it was very difficult to pass. The stool was short and slightly dark green, just a small piece. Even though she strained hard, she couldn’t pass it.What should I do? I’m afraid to feed her anything randomly, in case it causes another bout of diarrhea...
When the baby had diarrhea, we used Dingui’er umbilical patches and gave her many anti-diarrheal medications. Recently, she’s been very fussy and cries intensely. Every time she cries, it’s very loud. I’m not sure if it’s because she’s in pain or if she’s always feeling hungry—she wants to eat again shortly after. Her urine is very yellow.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can rub the child's stomach or take them for a check-up. The problem of constipation in children has always troubled parents. When treating this disease, consider adopting general treatment. Only by using the correct methods can family members help children recover from the illness as soon as possible, so as not to affect their growth and development. Therefore, parents must pay attention to their children's condition and take them to the hospital for timely medical treatment.
