Patient's question:
A child over four years old hasn't had a bowel movement for seven or eight days. What could be the reason? Thank you, this has never happened before, and they haven't been checked. I want to know what the cause is.Doctor's answer:
According to your statement, carefully observe the baby's mental appetite to see if there are any signs of stomach upset. Clinically, this is particularly common in children attending kindergarten. In kindergarten, babies often experience reflexive constipation, but when they come home, the urge to defecate disappears, and they avoid going to the bathroom, which can easily lead to stomach upset and constipation. It is recommended to give the baby more water, more vegetables and fruits, and add a little honey to the porridge. Do you usually give the baby any prescribed medication? If the baby has recently taken any prescribed medication, you can now use some glycerin suppositories for the baby.
