Can a 11-month-old baby with dry stools drink honey water?

Patient's question:

The baby's stool is dry every morning, only a small piece comes out, very hard, no moisture. It has been like this for 8 days. Can they drink honey water? Besides this, what else can they eat to improve it? What medicine can they take? Can they take probiotics?

Doctor's answer:

At eleven months, the baby has experienced constipation again, which may be due to dietary issues or insufficient water intake caused by excessive sweating.
1. Children under one year old should avoid honey water to prevent potential reoccurrence of poisoning.
2. You can try probiotic supplements to help restore the balance of intestinal flora.
3. Give the child more water.
4. If the child sweats a lot, you can test Yu Ping Feng oral liquid to increase sweating.
5. You can gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction around the navel to promote intestinal movement and aid in bowel movements.
