Patient's question:
The baby who is 8 months old has had dry bowel movements for more than half a month. It defecates twice a day, but the stool is still dry and hard. Previously, I didn't take much medicine and thought it could be adjusted through diet, but now there is still a dry and hard condition. Can the doctor eat these two kinds of medicine? I'm just troubled about whether to take medicine or not.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you explained, it is recommended to use probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora, drink more water, and feed appropriate amounts of fruits, juice, or vegetable puree. If the baby is breastfeeding, the mother should avoid spicy foods. If the baby is formula-fed, the formula should not be too thick to prevent constipation. This is the complete introduction to the question "Please advise on what to do if an 8-month-old baby has dry stools for more than half a month?" Finally, wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
