Question
My baby is almost six months old. Her bowel movements were always regular, with morning bowel movements and one a day. However, recently, I’ve noticed that she doesn’t seem to empty her bowels completely. She has a little bowel movement in the morning, then a little more in the afternoon, and a little more in the evening. Also, her morning stool is very dry, and the later ones are softer each time. Is this a problem? Could it be related to the new complementary food? We’ve recently added cucumber juice to mix with egg yolks and rice porridge for her. Moreover, because of the dry stool, her bottom has a bit of anal fissures. Thank you for your answer!
Answer
The causes of pediatric diarrhea can be divided into infectious and non-infectious categories, which are clinical syndromes primarily characterized by diarrhea caused by multiple pathogens and factors. Generally, medication can be taken for treatment, with commonly used oral medications including Mami Love, Peifeng Kang, and Lizhu Changle. There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric digestive disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to cultivate their children’s picky eating habits and have a balanced diet.
