Patient's question:
The child is four months old. On August 2, they had a fever of 40 degrees. After getting injections and medicine, they recovered. On August 3, around 2:00 PM, they had a bowel movement, which was normal, but today, already the 7th, they haven't had a bowel movement yet. Eating and sleeping are both fine. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your baby is constipated, so you need to adjust their diet. Formula-fed infants are more prone to constipation, so pay attention to the method and ratio of mixing the formula. Give your baby some water between feedings. If the weather is hot and they sweat a lot, you need to increase their fluid intake. For infants over 4-5 months old, you can gradually introduce solid foods. It's best to chop vegetables like spinach, cabbage, green vegetables, and chrysanthemum greens, and cook them with rice porridge to make various delicious vegetable porridges for your baby to eat.
