Patient's question:
Born bad from the start.Doctor's answer:
Infant constipation can be resolved using painless methods.(1) Gently rub the infant's abdomen with the palm of your hand, starting at the navel and moving in a clockwise direction. Massage 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, then massage another 10 times. Repeat this process 3 times.
(2) Lay the infant on their back and gently perform leg flexion and extension movements by lifting and lowering each leg. Do this 10 times, then switch to single-leg flexion and extension for 10 times.
(3) Apply an oily topical medication (such as tetracycline ointment) to the infant's anal opening, place a soft paper under it, and gently push and press the anus. Do this slowly 10 times. Usually, the infant will soon feel the urge to defecate or will defecate.
