Patient's question:
A 3-week-old baby is not passing stool. After using glycerin suppositories, they can pass stool within less than a minute. The baby is in good spirits and not crying. I would like to know how to deal with constipation in infants and young children.Doctor's answer:
The best way to treat constipation is through dietary treatment. In daily life, you can eat more foods rich in fiber, such as celery, chives, sweet potatoes, etc. Eat more coarse grains, fruits, and vegetables. Additionally, drink a glass of plain water after getting up in the morning to flush out the intestines, which is very necessary. Also, when lying in bed at night, gently massage your abdomen in a clockwise direction 50 times to promote the movement of the gastrointestinal tract.
