Question
How to handle a two-month-old baby’s constipation?
Answer
Your baby’s condition might be due to fluid deficiency and intestinal dryness, where the intestines lose moisture and fail to function properly, manifesting primarily as dry stools, difficulty in defecation, and symptoms of fluid deficiency. Also known as ’large intestine fluid deficiency syndrome,’ it is characterized by excessive internal heat. Treatment with ‘Bian Nai Tong Tea’ can be effective. There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases, so if a child is diagnosed with pediatric digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their child to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
