Patient's question:
My child had a fever 5 days ago. After taking medicine to reduce the fever, they had a bowel movement 3 days ago, but haven't had one since. Besides coughing symptoms in the morning and evening, how can I stabilize the situation of constipation after the fever?Doctor's answer:
Children may develop symptoms such as fever, cough, and constipation due to weakened immunity or catching a cold. To address the condition effectively, it is important to follow medical advice and take targeted medication for recovery. Constipation can be managed by adjusting the diet to stabilize it, consuming more rough fiber foods, and avoiding greasy diets. Suppositories can be used externally to assist with bowel movements, helping the body to recover quickly and comprehensively.
