Patient's question:
Four-month-old baby used to have a bowel movement once a day, then every two or three days, and recently every five days. For the past six days, she hasn't had a bowel movement, and she's been passing very smelly gas. Is the baby constipated or experiencing a stool withholding? Even after taking probiotics, she still hasn't had a bowel movement. The last time she had a bowel movement was five days ago, and she had two bowel movements the day before, but now it's the sixth day and she hasn't had one. Yesterday, there was a little urine in the diaper, but it was just a tiny amount. I changed the diaper three times, and each time there was just a tiny bit.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby is constipated, with a strong fire in the spleen and stomach, which leads to indigestion and consequently causes constipation. It is recommended that you give your child Wangshi Baochi Pills and probiotics. Also, try to give your child more fruits and vegetables, and ensure they drink plenty of water. The indoor temperature should not be too high.The above is the advice for the question "Why does a 4-month-old girl only have a bowel movement every 5 days?" I hope it helps you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
