Patient's question:
Now it's been two weeks since weaning and drinking milk, and there's been long-term difficulty with bowel movements, which are dry and coarse. There's also blood after defecation. What kind of help is needed: I don't know if it's a problem with milk, so now we've stopped and are trying to drink soy milk instead.Doctor's answer:
Due to the immature nervous system of the gastrointestinal tract and the underdeveloped gastrointestinal function in infants, using medication to relieve constipation can easily lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and recurrent nausea and vomiting. Therefore, for children with constipation, dietary therapy is the most ideal approach. You can give your baby honey water, either by drinking it regularly or by adding honey to milk for feeding, which is quite effective. Alternatively, you can eat some bananas, which can provide a short-term effect in moisturizing the intestines and promoting bowel movement.
