Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. What should I do if my three-month-old baby, who is breastfed, hasn't had a bowel movement for three days?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to deficiency of body fluids and dry intestines, where the loss of body fluids leads to the intestines lacking moisture, impairing their function in transmitting waste, primarily characterized by dry and hard stools, difficulty in defecation, and symptoms of fluid deficiency. It is also known as the syndrome of dry colon with deficiency of body fluids. Excessive internal heat in the intestines can be treated with Bian Nai Tong Cha.Hello: Based on your described symptoms, it is likely caused by indigestion, mainly characterized by increased bowel movements and the presence of undigested substances in the stool. It is recommended to take Jian Wei Xiao Shi Pian and probiotics for treatment, which are quite effective. If necessary, intravenous fluids may be used for treatment.
