Patient's question:
Newborn 22 days old, meconium is normal, but later doesn't defecate much. Probiotics didn't help. An experienced midwife suggested taking two medications: Xia'er Yan Granules and Aqimycin Granules. I'm not sure if I should give them to my baby. Can these two medications be taken?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, newborn babies cannot take medicine casually. They should not take 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 may also be due to constipation. It is recommended to feed appropriately and can gently massage the baby's abdomen to promote gastrointestinal movement and aid digestion. Warm up your hands to prevent counter-clockwise massage around the navel. Each set should be 20-30 times, and it can be done 2-3 times a day. You can also take probiotics for a period of time to help regulate the digestive system.
