Patient's question:
I am a 27-year-old woman who was taking care of a child when I noticed that the child was feeling unwell. Please ask: What should be done in general for infant constipation?Doctor's answer:
11-month-old baby, with a single case of constipation, can choose to use lubricating medication to aid defecation, or gently massage the baby's abdomen to enhance intestinal peristalsis and help with bowel movements. It is recommended to cultivate the baby's habit of defecating at fixed times in the morning. Supplementary foods such as vegetable puree and fruits can be provided, which are beneficial for stabilizing constipation. Then, the patient needs to follow a disciplined diet, maintain regular routines, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
