Patient's question:
The child has had abnormal bowel movements since they were a little over 2 years old. The stool is very smelly, and they usually have a bowel movement every 4 or 5 days. Each time, they cry terribly, saying their rectum hurts. We had a thorough examination at our county hospital, and everything came back normal. Now, this is really bothering me.Hello doctor, what condition does my son have, and how should it be treated? The child is now 4 years old.

Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the condition you mentioned is related to a child's bowel problem. Indeed, the symptoms you described should indicate constipation, which is likely caused by poor gastrointestinal function. You can adjust the situation with symptomatic medication and opt for a light diet, avoiding stimulating, spicy, and hard-to-digest foods. Adjusting your diet accordingly should help. Of course, you can also consider taking oral medications like Siquan Decoction Oral Liquid in combination. Additionally, eating more bananas and drinking honey water is also beneficial.
