How to treat severe infant constipation

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please ask how to treat severe infant constipation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your baby is experiencing constipation, the first thing to pay attention to is the correct guidance from parents. Before the child defecates, give signals, and maintain a relatively fixed time each day to gradually help them adapt to regular bowel movements. If the child does not defecate, do not force them, and avoid making them sit on the toilet for a long time. You can intermittently give some drugs that promote intestinal peristalsis and lubricate the intestines, such as Mimi Ai or Si Mo Tang. Appropriately massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal peristalsis, which helps with defecation.
