Question
My child’s anus swells and has cracks inside after defecation, and it’s been a week now. They have been a bit dry before, but never had anal swelling before, and they also mentioned a bit of itching.
Answer
Hello, constipation in babies is often caused by insufficient water intake and low intestinal function. You can give your child more honey water and increase the intake of vegetable puree and fruit puree appropriately. If constipation is severe, you can use a glycerin suppository to help with defecation. Additionally, you can give your child pediatric Qizhen pills to assist in the treatment of constipation. Wishing your child a healthy growth. For parents, don’t worry too much; it’s important to take your child to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment promptly, and to follow the doctor’s guidance on medication.
