Patient's question:
My child is eight months old. Since birth, he has been experiencing abdominal bloating. He only has a bowel movement every three or four days. Sometimes, if he doesn't poop, we use a glycerin enema to help him go.Could you please tell me what could be the reason?
Previous treatment and outcomes:
The doctor said he was too young for the tests to be conclusive. The doctor suggested waiting three months before any tests could be performed.
Help needed:
What could be the underlying issue?
Doctor's answer:
According to your current symptoms, the main consideration is poor digestion or gastroenteritis. Pay attention to rest and nutrition. It is best not to eat extremely cold, greasy, or stimulating foods. Based on your current symptoms, local cold compresses and massages can be applied, and Gentamycin Granules can be taken. For Gaoyou and Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian, it is recommended to regulate or go to the hospital for a health check and ultrasound examination to diagnose the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.
