Patient's question:
A full-term baby is not having a bowel movement, used one enema and one laxative, and now hasn't had a bowel movement for four more days. Previously, the baby kept passing gas, but now the gas has decreased. Probiotics have been taken continuously, but the baby still isn't having a bowel movement. In this situation, is it normal or should a doctor be consulted?Doctor's answer:
Is the child eating breast milk or formula? Children of this age can have gastrointestinal dysfunction. It's quite common. Give the child more water, massage the abdomen more, and take some bifidobacteria to regulate it. This situation is very common and not a big problem. Don't worry. The above advice is for the question "One-month-old baby not defecating, used one enema and one laxative once." I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
