Patient's question:
My baby is 72 days old and has been having abnormal bowel movements for the past half month. After suffering from diarrhea for three days a few days ago, he didn't have a bowel movement for four days. I gave him a suppository, and he passed green stool, but now he hasn't had a bowel movement for four more days. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In this case, infants with gastrointestinal digestive dysfunction may experience reactive hypersecretion of the intestinal mucosa after nausea and vomiting, leading to constipation again. It is recommended to adjust the diet, increase the amount of milk dissolved, and if breastfeeding, the mother should control her diet, avoiding spicy, extremely cold, and greasy foods. It is important to maintain regular daily bowel movements, and habits will improve over time.The above advice is for the question "My baby is 72 days old and has been having abnormal bowel movements for the past half month, what should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
