Question
A 1-year-old girl from Shanghai often experiences constipation and is seeking treatment methods.
Answer
Infant constipation may be caused by internal heat. It is recommended to increase water intake, or make pear water or dilute sweet drinks, gradually allowing the baby to get used to plain water. If bowel movements are needed, carrots, soap bars, or glycerin suppositories can be used occasionally. Additionally, products to clear internal heat can be given to the baby to alleviate symptoms of internal heat. When choosing products, attention should be paid to safety, effectiveness, and non-dependence.
