Patient's question:
Does the glycerin suppository have side effects? My child is breastfed. They only defecate when using glycerin suppositories. Their stool is not hard, and they don't cry. They use it every 7 or 8 days. It has been over a month now, and it's really frustrating. Please tell me if glycerin suppositories have side effects? What is this condition? Could anyone offer some advice?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to rule out anal and rectal diseases. This is also responsible for the child. Constipation in babies should not be treated with glycerin suppositories for a long time, as it can affect the normal contraction of the anal sphincter. The mother should pay attention to her diet and avoid eating too greasy or spicy foods. Observe whether the baby is suffering from heat, whether there is excessive eye discharge, or whether the area around the anus is red. 3. You can give the baby rice porridge water with sugar or use honeysuckle tea water for relief.
