Patient's question:
I am a 31-year-old woman who took care of my child and noticed that the child was feeling unwell. Could you please tell me: How is infant constipation usually treated?Doctor's answer:
Children who drink formula milk are prone to experiencing constipation again. If the child is currently in good spirits, feeding normally, and has a soft abdomen, there is no significant concern. It is recommended to gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction. Even if the child has a cold, but no medication has been used during breastfeeding, it will not affect the breast milk. Breast milk will never be infected by the cold. Before touching the child, wear a mask, and simply wash your face.The patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a good mood in daily life. It is advisable to eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
