Patient's question:
A child hasn't had a bowel movement for 10 days. They are normal when eating dinner, taking naps, and playing, without fever or stomach pain, but they just don't have a bowel movement. What medicine should be used?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, considering the baby may have constipation, the immediate priority is to use a laxative to relieve constipation, while also helping the baby stabilize its diet structure, enhance the dietary fiber in the food, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water, and develop the habit of defecating at regular times. If necessary, you can take castor oil to help with bowel movements. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if a child hasn't had a bowel movement for 10 days?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
