Question
Since after the full moon, my child seems to have a hard time urinating. They go every day, but the stool is always dry and grainy. Are there any methods that can help improve the child’s constipation problem?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, this situation is quite common in pediatrics. If your child is on formula milk, I suggest adding chrysanthemum extract. If the child is breastfed, the mother should consume more fruits and vegetables and avoid overeating foods that are easy to cause diarrhea, such as lamb and longans, and should moderately intake cooling foods. In terms of daily care, you can encourage your child to drink more fruit juices, such as apple juice and tomato juice.
