A 2-year-4-month-old baby has had constipation for 5 days. What should I do??

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to first conduct a routine stool examination for a definitive diagnosis. It is important to check whether there are white blood cells to determine if it is indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Additionally, it is necessary to consider whether a cold may have caused intestinal dysfunction.
If it is indigestion, oral medications such as Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye, Mamiai, and Simida can be taken. In severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Avoid consuming indigestible foods.
If the examination reveals inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment is advised. Cefixime can be taken for anti-inflammatory purposes. If there is a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. In severe cases, intravenous treatment may be required. Avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Give the digestive system a rest and drink plenty of fluids. Avoid consuming indigestible foods.
