Patient's question:
The baby's poop is a bit hard. The grandmother next door said to give her bananas to help with the bowel movement. So I peeled one and gave it to her, and she took a big bite. Today, she called out there while urinating, and when I lifted her, I found she had passed small hard lumps, and her buttocks were red with a bit of blood.Previous treatment and effectiveness: She has taken Mamikai and something called probiotics to aid digestion, but it had no effect. She also drank honeysuckle tea. It got better.
What kind of assistance is needed: What's going on? I thought it could help.
Doctor's answer:
This is a typical case of constipation, with broken anal mucosa and local skin peeling.Suggestions: First, you should bathe the baby's buttocks with warm water. Always keep the area clean. In terms of diet, consume more roughage foods such as sweet potato porridge, cooked carrots, apples, bananas, etc. Additionally, it is recommended to seek acupuncture treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Generally, pediatric constipation is caused by excessive intestinal fire, and significant improvement can often be achieved after several acupuncture sessions. You can also give him more water to drink.
