What should I do if my child is constipated and unable to defecate?

Patient's question:

The child has had very hard bowel movements this week. She often passes only small, grainy pellets. Occasionally, when she can't pass them, she cries uncontrollably. We gave her soap to insert into her anus, and it helped her pass them. However, there's still blood in her anus. The baby is crying so hard her face is turning pale. What should we do? How can we help her?

Doctor's answer:

Constipation in children is often related to improper feeding methods by parents. You can take your child to the pediatric gastroenterology department. Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriately increase probiotics and digestive aids to regulate intestinal flora and improve digestion. Avoid picky eating and snacks, and eat more vegetables and fruits, such as apples, bananas, etc. Combining with traditional Chinese medicine massage can yield good therapeutic effects. Using Kaishulu can help alleviate it. Gradual transition and improvement may require some time.
