Patient's question:
Girl baby, she is 8 years old this year. Recently, she has always had difficulty defecating, and I am very worried. Please ask: What should I do if the baby doesn't have a bowel movement for 4 days?Doctor's answer:
Constipation in children is generally related to diet. Currently, your child has been introduced to complementary foods for half a year. It is important to pay attention to giving your baby some light and easily digestible foods, such as vegetable puree, juice, meat puree, and rice porridge. Drinking more water is also necessary to promote gastrointestinal movement and maintain regular bowel movements. Gentle abdominal massage or probiotics can be used to regulate the digestive system and develop good lifestyle habits.
