27-day-old infant experiencing colic with facial spasms during defecation and flatulence

Patient's question:

In the past 7 or 8 days, for 27 days, the child has been experiencing expressions of twitching, hunching their neck, clenched fists, pointing their little feet, face flushed red, straining, and during defecation, a little bit of small stool can be.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, constipation may be caused by insufficient food intake, a lack of dietary fiber, or inadequate water intake, which reduces stimulation of the colon's movement. It is recommended that you encourage your child to drink more water and consume more rough-fiber vegetables, such as celery, chives, etc. Spinach and cabbage contain a large amount of folic acid and have a good laxative effect. You can also perform clockwise abdominal massages on your child, which can also help with bowel movement relief.
