Patient's question:
The baby has always had constipation. They have tried many methods, and the results are somewhat effective, but it is said that it is best not to give medicine to young children as it can harm their spleen. However, the baby continues to have constipation, and they haven't drunk enough water. They don't know what to do anymore. Recently, a friend has been collecting pineapple enzyme and wondering if it is effective. They are asking if it can be taken long-term.Doctor's answer:
Bromelain has many functions. The most important one is that bromelain is particularly effective for people suffering from coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and cerebrovascular diseases, and it can improve the smoothness of blood circulation in the human body, so the effect will definitely not make you regret it. However, all enzymes can treat constipation, but considering that babies are too young to have occasional bowel movements, it is recommended not to take them for a long time. It is advised to let the baby develop the habit of irregular bowel movements. You can let the baby eat more vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, celery, bananas, grapefruits, etc.
