Patient's question:
Before, he started having constipation. Basically, he went three days without a bowel movement. I thought it was just regular constipation, so I bought some medicine for it, but it didn't work at first. I want to ask, what should I do about the baby's chronic constipation?Doctor's answer:
Children's digestive system has not yet fully developed, and their spleen and stomach function is relatively weak. The gastrointestinal peristalsis is slower, and constipation may be caused by poor gastrointestinal absorption. For babies with constipation, applying soap sticks externally can help them defecate. At the same time, it is important to drink more water, consume some probiotics, and drink appropriate amounts of juice. Dietary regulation can generally treat constipation from the root, and it is also necessary to pay attention to appropriate abdominal massage to speed up intestinal peristalsis.
