Inquiry
A 6-month-old baby has been constipated for 6 days, having only one bowel movement, which is a small, dry ball-like feces, two in number.
Answer
If the baby experiences constipation, it may be due to individual constitution or gastrointestinal dysfunction. At the same time, attention should be paid to whether there are factors such as enteritis, imbalance of gut flora, or internal heat. It is recommended to use medications such as Mama Love or Children’s Four Grind Decoction for treatment, and to massage the baby’s abdomen in a timely manner during daily care, which may be effective. Additionally, some fine foods can be appropriately given, such as vegetables, sweet potatoes, and fruits. Wishing the baby a healthy and happy growth!
