Patient's question:
My baby is now eight months old. I don't know what's going on, but in the past few days, she hasn't been able to poop and has been crying nonstop. I'm very worried, so I'd like to ask how to treat a baby who can't poop?Doctor's answer:
The baby's difficulty in passing stools is mainly due to proper feeding or poor gastrointestinal motility in the child, leading to rapid water absorption. If breastfeeding, it may be related to the mother's internal heat. Appropriate lactase can be given to the child, or digestive and accumulation-reducing medication can be controlled. The mother should also pay attention to her diet and avoid spicy foods. If it doesn't improve, it is recommended to visit a good hospital.
