Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the analysis of your condition, the baby has abnormal bowel movements, which may be caused by indigestion. It is recommended that you pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm to prevent catching a cold, and you can take probiotics orally to regulate the intestinal flora. You can also apply physiotherapy to massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction to promote intestinal peristalsis. If the bowel movement still does not improve, you can give the baby Xiao'er Qi Xing Cha or Xiao'er Hua Shi Wan. It is also important to ensure the child drinks enough water and maintain a suitable indoor temperature and humidity. Insufficient diet for a long time can lead to malnutrition, reduced tension of abdominal and intestinal muscles, even atrophy, weakened contraction force, forming a vicious cycle, which can worsen constipation.
