Question

My baby is three years old, and she has been having trouble with bowel movements recently. She doesn’t even want to think about having a bowel movement, and even using a rectal suppository only allows her to pass a little bit! Previous treatment and effectiveness: Used rectal suppositories. How can I help: How can I stabilize her constipation and make her want to have a bowel movement?

Answer

It is suspected that the baby’s current constipation is mainly due to slow intestinal movement caused by insufficient moisture in the intestines. Guidance: It is best to drink plenty of water now and also to complement this with clockwise abdominal massage, which can enhance and stabilize intestinal peristalsis beyond the effect of laxatives. If necessary, you can take probiotics for nourishment, and it will gradually improve over time.
