Patient's question:
My baby is five and a half months old and hasn't had a bowel movement for three days. She has been exclusively breastfed, but I have given her some apple water in recent days and some scrambled egg yolk in the first week. I have also been feeling a bit feverish and still have a cold now.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: She used to have one to two bowel movements per day, and there was no treatment involved.
Help needed: What should I do in this situation?
Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition is likely related to your cold, medication, and stomach issues. Once your symptoms improve, your child's condition should also improve. Therefore, the root of the problem needs to be addressed starting with the adult. It is recommended to give your child more water, fresh vegetable juice, and fresh fruit juice. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can also administer some medication to help your child have a bowel movement quickly.
