Patient's question:
How to deal with constipation in children due to frequent internal heat, what should they eat in their daily diet, and what can effectively regulate constipation?Doctor's answer:
Hello; According to your description, the child is experiencing "storing stools." If the child does not show continuous crying or signs of being unresponsive to sleep, having a bowel movement every two days is also normal. As long as the child does not have dry stools, distended abdomen, nausea, or vomiting, and maintains a good mental state, there is no need to worry. As the child grows older and complementary foods are introduced, it will gradually improve on its own.It is recommended that during feeding, you can supplement with foods that aid digestion, such as banana juice and radish juice. If the baby's symptoms are severe, you can also take the child to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment, as pediatric acupuncture and massage can be very effective! However, never give the child medicine randomly, as the side effects of medication may affect the child's growth and development.
