Question
What should I do if my child only has a bowel movement once a week?
Answer
A child having bowel movements only once a week may be due to insufficient body fluids, leading to excessive dryness in the intestines and difficulty in defecation. It is suggested to try using Benitong tea to help moisten and relieve constipation. Additionally, attention should be paid to the child’s balanced diet and nutrition, avoiding excessive intake of spicy or cold foods to prevent exacerbating intestinal problems. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to take the child to see a doctor quickly.
