Question
The child hasn’t had a bowel movement for three days. I felt around today and there’s some feces, so I used a little enema, and some came out, but I still feel there’s a big piece that hasn’t come out. And the child is crying especially hard. What should I do? Can I just keep applying the enema to let it moisten?
Answer
Be aware that it might be due to a large colon or other reasons. It’s recommended to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination promptly. The doctor will provide targeted treatment based on the condition, and it’s important to feed the child a lot of light foods in everyday life.
