Patient's question:
Breastfeeding, 8 days without defecation; Purpose: How to relieve constipation. Duration and course of the current illness: 8 days. Current general condition: Fairly well, abdomen soft. Medical history: No bowel movement for 8 days until now, slightly irritable today, otherwise no abnormalities. Previous diagnoses and treatment history and effectiveness: None. Ancillary tests: None.Doctor's answer:
My daughter also used to be like this. I used infant glycerin suppositories. After using it twice, it returned to normal. You can't drink rice porridge. For such a young child, it the burden on the intestines, and it won't have a bowel movement. Solving constipation in infants is not difficult. Just add a little rice porridge to the baby's feeding every day, of course, you must strain out the rice grains in the porridge... When it comes to worrying about constipation, the most common concern is the fear that the baby won't eat enough and will fall into a state of hunger, which is why they can't have a bowel movement... However, babies who go to the doctor because of constipation are not unable to excrete, but rather they can excrete, just with a longer interval between bowel movements. They will naturally have a bowel movement in the second or third day...
