Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been eating much. May I ask if a 15-month-old child with constipation can drink fish soup?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 manifested as dry and hard stools, difficulty in defecation, and symptoms of fluid deficiency. It is also known as the syndrome of large intestine fluid deficiency.If there is excessive internal heat in the intestines, you can use Bian Nai Tong Cha (a herbal tea) for treatment.
Hello, based on your description, if your child experiences dry stools again, it is important to address it promptly. This can include abdominal massage, encouraging your child to eat more foods that can enhance intestinal capacity, such as bananas, leafy green vegetables, radishes, sweet potatoes, etc. Let your child run around, and accompany them while they sit on the toilet to help them relax mentally.
Generally, after a period of adjustment and coordinated dietary habits, the condition should not recur.
