Question
My baby, who is 1 year and 3 months old, has been unable to pass stool this week. She cries because she wants to, but the stool she passes with the help of a laxative is very dry and not much comes out; there’s even a bit of blood at the end. This has been going on for two or three days. Even drinking probiotics and honey water doesn’t help anymore. What should we do, doctor?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, it seems that the baby may be experiencing dyspepsia and constipation. It is recommended to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and humidity, pay attention to a balanced diet, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of warm water, help maintain smooth bowel movements, and develop good defecation habits.
