Patient's question:
It has only been 6 or 7 days since I had a bowel movement (without using artificial bowel movements), and if I use glycerin suppositories to stimulate, I can go, but the amount is not very much. Since I only drink breast milk, the stool is soft (like paste), yellow, and smelly.History of previous treatment and effectiveness: Taking BB herbal tea decoction, no effect? I hope to have a normal bowel movement once a day.
Doctor's answer:
According to the baby's condition, it is mainly that the constipation has reappeared in a more severe form, and it is necessary to promptly confirm the diagnosis and provide symptomatic treatment.1. Generally speaking, breastfed babies rarely experience constipation again. However, in this baby's case, the symptoms of constipation are quite severe and need to be addressed promptly with symptomatic treatment.
2. It is acceptable to use glycerin suppositories intermittently, but it is not advisable to use them frequently, as it may be related to gastrointestinal dysfunction. Symptomatic treatment with digestive system medications such as Simotone (simo tang) or Bifidobacterium breve and Bifidobacterium longum granules can be considered under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Finally, it is important to rule out the possibility of intestinal malformations. It is recommended to promptly take the child to a local hospital for additional careful examination of the digestive system.
