Question
My baby is suffering from severe constipation, unable to pass stool. How should I handle it?
Answer
Constipation can be a functional issue or caused by organic intestinal diseases. If simple dietary adjustments are ineffective, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of organic gastrointestinal diseases, such as congenital megacolon. It is recommended to take the baby to a regular hospital’s gastroenterology department for a comprehensive examination to determine the cause. If there is an organic disease, treatment should be targeted at the primary disease.
