What should I do if the baby's facial expression twitches when passing gas and stool?

Patient's question:

In the past 7-8 days, for 27 days, the child has been experiencing expressions of twitching, hunching their neck, clenched fists, pointing their little feet, face flushed red, straining, and during defecation, a little bit of small stool can be expelled.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, constipation may be caused by insufficient food intake, a lack of dietary fiber, or inadequate fluid intake, which reduces stimulation of the colon's movement. It is recommended that you encourage your child to drink more water and consume more high-fiber vegetables, such as celery, chives, etc., spinach, and cabbage, which contain a large amount of folic acid and have a good laxative effect. You can also perform clockwise abdominal massages on your child to help with bowel movement relief.
