Question
What foods or medications should a two-and-a-half-year-old baby take for dry stool?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby may be suffering from the ‘Jin Xue Chang Zao’ syndrome, which is caused by fluid depletion, leading to a lack of moisture in the intestines and affecting bowel movements. It is recommended to use ‘Bian Nai Tong Tea’ to treat this internal heat excess condition. Additionally, observing your baby’s diet and mental state is quite important. Usually, there is no need to be overly concerned if there are no symptoms of vomiting or severe crying.
