Question
My baby is 3 and a half years old and has been suffering from chronic constipation. Even with various medications, the effect only lasts a few days. Someone said that Maren Zishui Wan is good, and after feeding it several times, the baby can defecate. However, the baby says it’s painful before defecation, and the pain goes away after defecation. What’s going on? Can we still give the baby Maren Zishui Wan?
Answer
Based on your description, it is appropriate for the child to take pediatric Qixing Tea Granules for nourishment and treatment during the course of treatment. Pay attention to giving the child as much water as possible. Eat more vegetables and fruits. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Children have relatively weak physical resistance and are prone to various diseases. For parents, do not worry too much; it is important to take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner and not to give the baby medication blindly.
