Patient's question:
Today is the 23rd day. On the 13th of this month, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., I had four episodes of watery diarrhea that were almost like water. In the afternoon, I went to the hospital and got Smecta. I took it once on the 13th evening and once again on the morning of the 14th (1/3 bag each time). Since the evening of the 13th until now, I haven't had a bowel movement. Urination is relatively normal, and I've been urinating about 10 times a day for the past two days. Currently, I'm mixing breastfeeding with formula feeding.Hello, do you have any signs of constipation?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: No.
What kind of assistance do you need: I haven't had a bowel movement for two days, and I'm quite worried!
Doctor's answer:
This situation is likely caused by indigestion in the baby. Not having a bowel movement for one or two days is also common.Suggestions: For breastfeeding, the mother should pay attention to her diet and can consume dishes like seaweed soup, Shengdi and Maidong pork rib soup, etc. It is absolutely essential to avoid greasy, extremely cold, or pungent foods and opt for light and nutritious options. For formula feeding, attention should be paid to the temperature of the formula and its preparation. Additionally, it’s important to ensure the baby doesn’t swallow air while feeding. You can also provide appropriate milk supplements as needed.
