Patient's question:
My baby is 4 years old this year. He has never been breastfed since he was a child. I have always bought export products for his milk powder, and the taste is relatively light. At that time, he also had some constipation, but it wasn't very serious. The elders said that it would be fine once the child had dinner. Now the child almost doesn't drink milk powder, but the constipation is getting worse and worse. How should I deal with severe constipation in a 4-year-old baby?Doctor's answer:
A 4-year-old child is experiencing severe constipation symptoms again, which may be related to poor spleen and stomach function or poor gastrointestinal function. It is recommended to try to give the child more warm water to drink, and to eat some laxative fruits such as apples, bananas, pears, and dragon fruits. Fresh vegetables should also be eaten more, while spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Probiotics can also be given orally to the child. Wishing you good health.
