Question
Why is my child’s stool dry?
Answer
It is recommended to drink more water and, at the same time, to perform clockwise abdominal massage to enhance and stabilize intestinal peristalsis for bowel movement. If necessary, you can take Qizhen Dan or Feier Wan for nourishment, which can also be very effective. Constipation is usually caused by internal heat due to accumulated heat in the intestines. You can use physical therapy by massaging the baby’s abdomen clockwise to enhance intestinal peristalsis. At the same time, adopt dietary therapy by giving the child some freshly squeezed fruit juice, such as pear juice or watermelon juice, or a little Children’s Qixing Tea or Children’s Digestive Pill.
