Patient's question:
The baby has been constipated for a long time. The first time, they took probiotics for more than ten days and stopped once it improved. Then they took a three-jin calcium and zinc supplement for about four or five days. Now they have started constipation again. The probiotics bought from the clinic don't seem to be very effective. A friend told me that lactulose can be taken. Hello, can babies with constipation drink lactulose?Doctor's answer:
Babies with constipation can take lactulose. Lactulose works through osmotic action to increase colon content, thereby influencing colon motility and maintaining bowel regularity, relieving constipation. At the same time, it restores the physiological rhythm of the colon, which is the mechanism by which lactulose treats constipation. Now, parents often choose Lactulose to treat their babies' constipation, and each 100ml oral solution contains 66.7g of lactulose, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria.
