Patient's question:
A six-month-old baby has not been defecating without limit for one month. Every seven days, they only defecate after using a glycerin suppository once. After drinking lactulose for three days, they had a bowel movement for three days in a row, once a day. But after stopping the medication for two days, they stopped defecating again? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Feed the baby, pay attention to hygiene, always keep the nipple clean, and ensure hand hygiene after changing the baby's diaper. Since the baby's stool is affected by the mother's milk, the mother should also pay attention to a balanced diet, eat appropriately, eat more fruits and vegetables, and eat less fried and junk food. The diet should be regular, drink less cold drinks, and can take one package of triple live bacteria of bifidobacterium twice a day, taking warm water half an hour after feeding.
