Patient's question:
Girl baby, she is 7 years old this year. Recently, she has been having difficulties with her bowel movements, and I am very worried. Please ask: What should I do if the child does not defecate?Doctor's answer:
If a child does not have a bowel movement, it could be due to constipation. It is recommended to give the baby more water and use corresponding medications to lubricate the intestines and soften the stool. Additionally, in terms of diet, it is advisable to eat more foods rich in rough fiber and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. For parents, it is important to help children seek timely medical treatment. Also, the baby's daily diet should be balanced in terms of nutrition, avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
