Patient's question:
The baby's appetite hasn't been very good recently. They often say their stomach feels bloated and they don't feel hungry. They haven't had a bowel movement for three or four days. It's said to be infant constipation with abnormal bowel movements. What should an infant with constipation eat to have a bowel movement the fastest?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the child has occasional constipation, oral liquid medication can be taken, and small cotton swabs dipped in water can be squeezed into the anus. If it's mild constipation, oral Yin-nourishing and intestines-moistening oral liquid can be taken for symptomatic treatment. If it's chronic constipation, the factors causing the child's constipation need to be identified. Generally, common causes are an unreasonable diet and picky eating habits in children. Mainly, the diet should be adjusted, and the dietary structure should be reasonable, including protein.
