Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What is the situation with infant Simethicone for constipation?Doctor's answer:
The gastrointestinal nervous regulation of infants is not well developed, and their gastrointestinal function is immature. If medication is used to relieve constipation, it can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, diarrhea, and other issues. Therefore, for children with constipation, dietary therapy is the most ideal approach. You can give the baby honey water to drink, either by regularly consuming honey water or by adding honey to their milk. There is no need to worry about the symptoms caused by the baby's constipation. Generally, treatment can be achieved through abdominal massage and oral administration of a moderate amount of honey. Timely observation, treatment, follow-up visits, and early recovery are necessary.
