Question
How to handle constipation in a 7-month-old baby?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you described, the main issue is likely heat in the gastrointestinal tract and fluid depletion, leading to constipation due to retained waste. Treatment should involve clearing heat, moistening the intestines, and promoting bowel movements, which can be achieved by taking medications such as honey and cod liver oil. If a digestive disease is diagnosed, immediate medical treatment should be sought, and reasonable diet should be observed.
