What is the matter with a nine-month-old baby having severe constipation?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach feels dull pain sometimes with symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it got better for a while, but then it started again. Please ask, what's wrong with my nine-month-old baby having severe constipation?

Doctor's answer:

Since the digestive system of children has not yet developed and improved, it is easy for them to experience digestive issues again. If a child experiences constipation again, first adjust the diet by introducing more liquid foods such as congee and soft noodles, and encourage them to drink plenty of water. You can also gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote gastrointestinal movement. If the constipation is severe, you may consider using laxative medication for enema. Additionally, consuming probiotics regularly can be beneficial.
