Question
Since birth, the baby has had poor digestion, with a decrease in bowel movements after taking medication. Recently, there have been three days without a bowel movement. The baby has been to the People’s Hospital and Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Huaxian County, Guangdong Province for consultation, and the diagnosis is digestive disturbance.
Answer
It is recommended to give Lactase Digestive Tablets and consume fresh vegetables to aid digestion. At the same time, good living habits should be cultivated, attention should be paid to dietary and lifestyle routines, and avoid overeating as well as consuming hard-to-digest foods or drinks that produce gas. Since the newborn’s digestive system is not fully developed, if symptoms such as digestive disturbances are found, medical treatment should be sought promptly and avoid self-medication. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and assist in receiving treatment as soon as possible.
