Patient's question:
The child is six years old and has had dry and hard stools since childhood, which are slightly dark in color. Each time they defecate, it's like a large piece of fat intestine, a bit dark. In the past two months, there has been some bleeding around the anus after defecation. The child has intestinal worms but has a good appetite and is not picky about food. They have seen a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and have not seen any improvement in two weeks. Could you please advise on what to do? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby's constipation is generally related to drinking too little water, consuming too much milk, and low intestinal function. You can give your child more honey water, and feed them appropriate amounts of vegetable and fruit purees. If the constipation is severe, you can use an enema to spray inside the anus to relieve bowel movement difficulties. Additionally, you can take Xiao'er Qi Zhen Wan as a supplementary treatment for constipation. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
