Patient's question:
My baby is now 7 months old. He hasn't had a bowel movement for 4 days, but he is urinating and spitting up milk. I'm worried that there might be a problem with his digestive system. Doctor, what should I do if a newborn spits up milk and doesn't have a bowel movement? What kind of medicine should I give him?Doctor's answer:
Newborns do not cough up sputum or defecate due to digestive system damage. It is recommended to take the baby to the local hospital for examination in a timely manner. Identify the cause and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. In normal life, the child should eat less and exercise more. The feeding frequency for the child should not be too high. The amount of feeding per meal should not be too full. During feeding, the baby's back should be gently patted to help with digestion.
