Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How can I help if the baby doesn't have a bowel movement while breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to deficiency of fluids in the intestines and dryness of the bowels. This condition is characterized by the loss of fluids, lack of moisture in the intestines, impaired function of peristalsis, and is primarily manifested by dry and hard stools, difficulty in defecation, and symptoms of fluid deficiency. It is also known as the syndrome of fluid deficiency in the large intestine.Excessive internal heat in the intestines can be treated with Bian Nai Tong Cha. Since a child's digestive system is still developing, it is prone to constipation. Don't worry—try giving them some honey water, and gently massage their abdomen. This will gradually improve. If the stool does not pass, you can use an enema to help the baby defecate. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
