Patient's question:
The baby is almost 50 days old. A few days ago, she had a slight cold, and I gave her some Gan Tai Kang Granules. Now she doesn't eat milk well; she often eats only two or three spoonfuls and then stops. Her bowel movements are infrequent, sometimes she doesn't have a bowel movement for a whole day and night. What could be the reason?First follow-up question: It has been three days now, and she still hasn't had a bowel movement.
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of your child may still be caused by indigestion.It is recommended that you try massage therapy for your child. Have the child lie flat on their back. The massage therapist should place the base of the right palm firmly against the abdominal muscles and gently push in the direction of right upper abdomen—left upper abdomen—right lower abdomen. Repeat this motion in the same direction, avoiding excessive force. Each session should last about ten minutes, and it is recommended to perform the therapy 2-3 times daily. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
