Question
My baby is 32 months old and only drinks milk; they don’t eat solid food and have constipation. Previous treatment and effects: Taking some cooling medicine didn’t work, and I’m seeking help: Please give me some treatment suggestions.
Answer
It’s quite common for babies to experience this kind of situation, often due to poor gastrointestinal function in newborns. It could be caused by excessive intake of spicy and irritating foods leading to internal heat, or it might be due to an imbalance in the intestinal flora. It’s necessary to adjust the diet, incorporating more vegetables and fruits. You can try giving your baby Qing Qing Bao, but if there’s no effect, switch to taking lactic acid bacteria tablets to improve the intestinal flora. Only resort to medications that help with bowel movements when necessary. It’s also recommended to drink probiotics for adjustment, and to consume more fruits and vegetables, as well as foods rich in fiber, which are beneficial for regulating the current situation and promoting healthy growth.
