What should I do if my baby has dry stools and can't pass them?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. What should I do if my baby has constipation and can't poop?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered to be caused by the accumulation of heat in the stomach and intestines, consumption of body fluids, and the retention of waste matter, leading to constipation. Treatment should focus on clearing heat, moistening the intestines, and promoting bowel movement. Fish oil can be given to the child for treatment.
It is also considered that the child may have indigestion, and generally, medication can be used. Oral pediatric stomach-strengthening granules and Mammi Ai can be tried.
Please note that the child should avoid eating raw, cold, or irritating foods, and focus on consuming easily digestible foods. Additionally, applying warm compresses to the abdomen can also be helpful. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
