Patient's question:
The child is four months old. On August 2, they had a fever of 40 degrees. After getting injections and medicine, they returned to normal. On August 3, around 2:00 PM, they had a bowel movement, which was normal, but today, already the 7th, they haven't had a bowel movement yet. Eating and sleeping are both fine. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your baby is constipated, so adjust your baby's diet. Formula-fed infants are more prone to constipation, so pay attention to the method and ratio of mixing formula. Give your baby some water between feedings. If the weather is hot and your baby sweats more, you need to increase the amount of water you give. For infants over 4-5 months old, you can gradually add complementary foods. It's best to chop spinach, cabbage, green vegetables, and chrysanthemum leaves, and cook them with rice porridge to make various delicious vegetable porridges for your baby to eat.
