Question
A month ago, the child experienced diarrhea for a month and received medication treatment. However, within the next four days, the child only had one bowel movement, and there has been no bowel movement for the past five days. The child’s stomach is a bit bloated.
Answer
Based on the description, the child’s gastrointestinal function may have become disordered. After healing from diarrhea, the child experienced a situation of not having bowel movements for four to five days, which may be due to dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, as well as endocrine imbalance. It is recommended to use drugs that invigorate the spleen, improve digestion, moisten the intestines, and promote bowel movements under the guidance of a doctor to nourish the body. Consider also consuming probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora. If mixed feeding is being used, it is suggested to increase the amount of formula milk to prevent diarrhea.
