Patient's question:
My relative's baby has been having trouble urinating for a while; it's slow and difficult to pass. They said their bowel movements are very dry and hard to expel. My relative tried having them drink more water, but it didn't help. They took them to a pet hospital, where the doctor prescribed some constipation medication, which slightly improved the situation. The baby is still asking for eggs, and my relative isn't sure if it's okay. Can babies with constipation eat eggs?Doctor's answer:
The baby is constipated and cannot poop. The stool can be eaten with eggs. Generally, constipation and inability to poop are often caused by slow intestinal peristalsis and interference from bowel habits. For constipation and inability to poop, dietary attention is needed during the day. Maintain a regular diet and avoid spicy foods that affect it. Eggs are rich in high-quality protein nutrients, so it's okay to eat eggs when constipated and unable to poop.
