Question
My baby has constipation, cries while defecating, and used to drink milk from a bottle. After a high fever, they no longer use the bottle, nor do they drink water. They have never received treatment. I want to know about the baby’s condition and how to help them.
Answer
You can give the baby an abdominal massage, centering on the navel and massaging in circles from left to right, 10 times each time, with a 5-minute interval, and repeat 3 times. If there is no bowel movement for several days, you can use a pediatric enema. Additionally, if the baby is breastfed, the mother should pay attention to adjusting her diet, keeping it light, and drinking plenty of water.
