Patient's question:
The baby girl is nine and a half months old. Recently, she has been having very dry bowel movements for the past week. She has many bowel movements in a day, but each time only a little bit comes out. It's dry, and she's been shaking all day, like a dough, but no bowel movement actually comes out. However, she still has bowel movements every day, at least very few and very dry. Is this really constipation? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described above, considering constipation, it is recommended to feed some coarse grain supplementary food. In the near future, topical glycerin suppositories can be used. It is also suggested to take probiotics orally to adjust the intestinal flora, or switch to a formula with fewer probiotics. It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. The above suggestions are for the question "Nine-month-old girl, her stools have been very dry in the past week." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
