Question

Can a baby’s constipation be diagnosed with just an anus examination instead of an enema?

Answer

When a baby experiences constipation, if there are appropriate symptoms, an anus examination can be considered. If the diagnosis is constipation due to insufficient fluids, treatment can be managed by adjusting the diet and using medications such as Laxative Tea. However, if the condition is severe, further examination or treatment may be necessary, including an enema.
