Question
The patient is a newborn of 15 days old and has recently developed constipation. Treatments with Symbiotics and probiotics have been ineffective. How should this be handled?
Answer
Infants often experience constipation, and it is advisable to try giving the child probiotics to regulate the intestines and ensure they drink plenty of water to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, timely abdominal massage and attention to not overheat the diet can be helpful. If the condition persists for two days or more without improvement, it is recommended to seek medical attention. Moreover, parents should pay attention to ensuring a balanced diet for their baby and ensuring adequate water intake.
