Patient's question:
I am a 24-year-old woman who recently discovered that her child is not doing well. After checking, it was found that she actually has an illness. Please ask: What should I do if the older child is constipated and unable to defecate?Doctor's answer:
Due to the immature gastrointestinal function in infants, they are prone to experiencing nausea, vomiting, or constipation symptoms again. If there is no bowel movement for more than three days, it is likely constipation, which is usually caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to take probiotics orally to restore the normal intestinal flora, apply abdominal warmth appropriately, and if there is still no bowel movement, suppositories can be used externally for symptomatic relief.Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
