Question
What should I do if my baby hasn’t had a bowel movement for two days?
Answer
This could be due to insufficient body fluids causing intestinal dryness and heat, leading to dry stools and difficulty in defecation. It is suggested to use ‘Bian Nai Tong tea’ for treatment in this situation. Additionally, it could also be caused by poor digestion. In this case, it is advised to avoid fatty foods and consider using ‘Bao He Wan’ for treatment, or even roasted radish seeds, shelled and decocted, which can also be quite effective.
