Question
My baby has been having trouble with constipation lately. Every time they have a bowel movement, their little face turns bright red, and sometimes when they strain to go, there are blood streaks. It takes a long time for them to pass stool. Their little buttocks are red and it really hurts to see. Can constipation in infants not being able to pass stool be treated for 80 cents?
Answer
Hello, parent. When a baby is constipated and unable to pass stool, it is often due to slow intestinal peristalsis, insufficient intestinal hydration, or overly refined diet. When constipation results in blood in the stool, it is usually caused by anal fissures. It is recommended to first adjust the diet, ensuring the baby gets plenty of water and eats more whole grains and fibrous vegetables and fruits. Additionally, drinking honey water on an empty stomach in the morning can also help relieve constipation issues. Please note that these are just suggestions; if the problem persists or worsens, please consult a professional doctor’s opinion.
