Question

The baby has hard, granular stool and finds it difficult to defecate. What medication can help improve this situation?

Answer

For this baby’s constipation, consider using some traditional Chinese patent medicines, such as “Children’s Seven Star Tea” or “Clear Fire Treasure” for treatment. At the same time, appropriate abdominal massage and exercise can help increase peristalsis and promote stool excretion. Moreover, parents should pay attention to a balanced diet for the baby, avoiding picky eating to prevent indigestion and constipation. If the problem persists or worsens, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to obtain professional diagnosis and treatment.
