Patient's question:
Your son has just turned eight months old and hasn't had a bowel movement for two or three days. I want to know what to do about constipation in an eight-month-old baby who can't poop.Doctor's answer:
You can decide to use a cotton swab to apply a little sesame oil to the anus, or use a small soap to stimulate the anus. If it doesn't work occasionally, you can use a little bit of glycerin. Pay attention to a balanced diet in daily life, eat more rough fiber fruits and vegetables, drink more water, and you can also feed some millet porridge that can moisten the intestines and stomach. Daily life requires regular routines, good cold prevention and warmth preservation, eating more light and soft foods in daily diet, frequent ventilation, and drinking more hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
