Question
My baby is 18 months old and has recently been experiencing dry and hard stools, occurring every two to three days. Each bowel movement is very difficult, sometimes resulting in anal fissures and a bit of blood. The parents have tried various dietary adjustments but there has been no relief.
Answer
This condition may be due to an imbalance of intestinal flora. It is recommended to take dual four-strain probiotics and other medications to regulate the intestinal flora, while also paying attention to increasing the intake of high-fiber foods such as celery and green vegetables. Additionally, parents should be patient and correctly handle the issue of childhood constipation to avoid any impact on the child’s growth and development.
