Patient's question:
The baby is a little over a month old and hasn't had a bowel movement for several days. It's said that soap sticks can be used. How are they used? Are the soap sticks, after being (shāo hǎo de - sharpened), directly inserted into the rectum and repeatedly pushed in many times, or are they just inserted and not removed?Doctor's answer:
As you described, this situation where the baby hasn't urinated for several days requires considering a follow-up visit to the pediatric department for examination. It is recommended that you pay attention to avoiding the use of soap sticks, as this child cannot tolerate it. Gentle abdominal massage and back massage (nibbling the spine) can help stabilize the symptoms.The above advice is for the question "Baby is one month old and hasn't had a bowel movement for several days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
