Question
Since my child was a little over 2 years old, they have had irregular bowel movements. The stool is very smelly and usually occurs every 4.5 days. Each time, they cry in pain, saying their anal area is very painful. I had a thorough check-up at our county hospital, and everything was normal. Now I am really worried about this. Dear doctor, what condition does my son have, and what treatment should be administered? My child is now 4 years old.
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s symptoms suggest a problem with constipation. Indeed, these symptoms are indicative of constipation, possibly due to poor gastrointestinal function. You can adjust medication accordingly, opt for a mild diet to avoid irritation and spicy foods that are difficult to digest. Of course, you can also consider using oral medications such as Simo Decoction Liquid. It is also helpful to consume more bananas and honey water regularly.
