Patient's question:
The child is now three months old. Since two months ago, they haven't been able to defecate on their own; they used soap sticks and cotton swabs to stimulate, and later had to inject water to pass soft, sticky stools with a watery consistency. Without stimulation, they cannot defecate. Now, they haven't had a bowel movement for three days. Today, they tried to defecate but couldn't, and started crying.Previous treatment and effectiveness:
Used Wangshi Baochi pills and Jinsuangqi probiotics.
Help needed:
Could this be constipation? How should it be treated? Could it be an intestinal issue?
Please help.
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is necessary to consider possible causes such as colic in the baby, improper feeding, or insufficient intestinal motility. Avoid using soap sticks frequently to prevent dependency. Pay attention to drinking more water, and the baby's mother should consume more fresh vegetables and fruits. You can also perform clockwise abdominal massage, take oral Zangling Water Soluble Sugar, which can stimulate intestinal movement and enhance the moisture of feces while maintaining a certain osmotic pressure to help with bowel movements. The above suggestions are for the question "The child is now three months old and has not had a bowel movement since it started on its own at two months." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
