Patient's question:
The child was born over 20 days ago. They have had meconium for 3 days after birth, nursing normally, and then had their own bowel movement after 5 days. Four days later, they had another bowel movement. Now, after using glycerin suppositories for 5 days, they are sleeping and eating normally, but have not had a bowel movement for 4-5 days.Previous Treatment and Effects:

Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the English translation, following your instructions:Pay attention to this first. If you have discomfort for more than 5 days, use a laxative to help with bowel movements. Besides, children need to be reminded to drink more water, especially if they only drink formula, as they need to be watched closely. If the child has a stomach ache, it's also necessary to eat small meals more frequently, because poor digestion is not good for the child. Of course, if the child is breastfed, you need to pay attention to your own diet. Do not eat spicy or gassy foods, and avoid eating apples, etc. After a bowel movement, gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction.
The above suggestions are for the question, "The baby is over 20 days old now, just born, and has had meconium for 3 days, what should I do?". We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
