How to deal with severe constipation in an 8-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

My baby is now 8 months old. Recently, I noticed that my baby is constipated. Hello, what should I do if my 8-month-old baby is severely constipated?

Doctor's answer:

This is generally related to the baby's diet structure. You can consider temporarily stopping supplementary feeding. In simple terms, the baby can only eat some porridge or rice gruel, avoiding other supplementary foods. Then, coordinate with using laxatives and combine them with many traditional Chinese medicines that are good for strengthening the spleen and stomach and stabilizing absorption. These are also quite effective for treating infant constipation. Additionally, you can also coordinate with pediatric acupuncture to alleviate it.
