Patient's question:
A few days ago, the baby got a vaccination. Normally, the baby has three to four bowel movements a day. The doctor prescribed Bifidobacterium bifidum live powder, Caltrate tablets, and vitamin AD drops for the baby to take home. However, after taking them, the baby is not having bowel movements anymore and is struggling to pass stool, crying very hard. What should we do? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Constipation is mostly caused by an imbalance in intestinal flora and spleen-stomach deficiency, except for the fact that the dietary food provided is low in fiber. Generally, probiotics and synbiotics can be given to adjust the intestinal flora, and children's spleen-waking granules or children's spleen-strengthening powder can be taken to enhance the health of the spleen and stomach. Fruits like apples, tofu, or hony flower milk can be added to supplementary foods. In addition, it is necessary to have a bowel movement every day, with a habit of once a day. Enemas with soap water can be used, or soap can be cut like a fever-reducing and inserted into the rectum, which has less side effects on the rectum.
