Question
When a baby experiences diarrhea, parents often feel very worried. This symptom frequently recurs, and the child has already undergone examinations, hoping for medical assistance.
Answer
The baby’s symptoms may be caused by gastrointestinal malabsorption, and occasional constipation is not a major concern. It is recommended to perform a clockwise abdominal massage on the baby or gently rub the anus with sesame oil to promote defecation. The mother can use her fingertips to massage and stroke around the baby’s navel in a clockwise direction, which helps to accelerate gastrointestinal motility and promote defecation.
