Question

What is the role of laxative enema?

Answer

Laxative enema is a medication used to alleviate constipation. It promotes intestinal peristalsis, increases the frequency and ease of defecation, thereby helping babies to pass stool. However, long-term excessive use of laxative enema may affect the normal contraction of the anal sphincter, so it is not recommended for long-term use.

Question

How to properly use laxative enema to relieve constipation issues?

Answer

Proper use of laxative enema can help babies relieve constipation. Firstly, it is suggested that mothers pay attention to their own diet, avoiding spicy, fried, and other easy-to-heat-up foods. Additionally, observe if the baby has signs of heatiness, such as excessive eye mucus or redness around the anal area. Feeding rice gruel with sugar or using chrysanthemum flowers to make tea can also help alleviate constipation. If constipation issues persist, please seek medical attention and consult with a doctor.
