Patient's question:
The baby hasn't had a bowel movement for a day and keeps passing gas. Can the milk be changed?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hello, this situation could be caused by an internal heat condition, but it cannot be ruled out that the child may have indigestion, which could lead to constipation. The digestive system of young children is not yet fully developed, and they may not be able to digest many types of food. You could try switching to formula milk, but avoid giving too much during the first feeding. After eating, you can gently massage the child's abdomen, but be sure to keep it warm. Drinking more water regularly can also help. It is recommended to switch to formula milk and consider taking medications such as protease, Bifidus Captivum capsules, or lactase for treatment.
