Question
Newborns often defecate every few days, but recently, they have been going every five to six days. Upon hospital examination, it was found that there is a symptom of excessive air accumulation in the intestines.
Answer
This condition may be caused by colitis, and it is recommended to take oral drugs such as Norfloxacin Capsules, Pinyin Yitang Wan, and Huaijiao Wan for treatment. At the same time, it is advisable to avoid eating spicy, cold, greasy, and other irritating foods and to eat more fibrous foods. The child’s condition may be threatened by newborn diseases, so it is suggested that parents take the child to the hospital immediately for medical treatment, avoid self-medication, and closely monitor the changes in symptoms to help them receive timely treatment.
