Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How should we address the issue of constipation in young children?Doctor's answer:
If the child's current need to defecate is quite obvious. I suggest using soap water to clean the baby's anal area first, which is beneficial for bowel movement. In the current situation, it is mostly considered to be symptoms of indigestion, which may be related to irregular eating habits and other reasons. Appropriate use of herbal medicines for clearing heat and promoting bowel movement, as well as probiotics, can help regulate the condition. It is also important to pay attention to giving the child more water, more fruits, and high-fiber vegetables to aid bowel movement.
