Question

How should I deal with my baby’s constipation? It’s been over 10 days, and the baby can’t pass stool, and what is passed is very little and dry, grainy in texture.

Answer

Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it mainly indicates gastrointestinal heat and fluid depletion leading to constipation. Treatment should focus on clearing heat, moistening the intestines, and promoting defecation. You can give the child cod liver oil and honey for treatment.
