Is constipation related to small intestinal hernia?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Is constipation related to hernia?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, if a baby eats less, they may also not have a bowel movement. It is important to check if the baby's abdomen is bloated, whether they are passing gas, and if their urine is normal. If the baby's urine is normal, they are passing gas, and their abdomen is not bloated, it is recommended to wait and see without any treatment. If the abdomen is more bloated, you can use glycerin suppositories or small soap sticks to help with defecation. The baby's symptoms may be caused by an infection, leading to fever. It is recommended to treat it promptly with oral antibiotics. Take Amoxicillin, Vitamin C, and Naproxen for treatment.
