Patient's question:
A 46-day-old infant hasn't had a bowel movement for 48 hours, and the parents are very worried. The baby is eating well and sleeping soundly. This situation has happened before, about 10 days ago, when the infant also didn't have a bowel movement for 48 hours. They used Kaozhe Lu at that time. Is this situation serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the patient's medical history and age, it is still caused by indigestion. If the normal flora of the child's digestive system has not yet been established, this situation may occur. Sometimes it may cause dryness, and sometimes diarrhea. It is recommended to take probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus orally. Please avoid drinking hot water, and the child's symptoms will gradually improve. If necessary, you can take the child to the hospital to see if it is necessary to use an enema for bowel movement.
