Question

My baby is almost 3 months old and has not had a bowel movement for 15 days, but is in good condition and still urinates. He has never received any related treatment and I don’t know how to solve the constipation problem.

Answer

Based on your description, it is recommended that you bring your baby to a regular pediatrician for a follow-up examination and actively seek treatment to promote bowel movements. It may also be necessary to undergo relevant examinations and tests to determine if there are any congenital megacolon or other potential diseases. In daily life, you should pay attention to strengthening your baby’s diet and care. If your baby does not have any other diseases, you can consider giving oral probiotic medications intermittently to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, enhance intestinal peristalsis, and help with defecation.
