Question
How to deal with the issue of a four-year-old’s dry stool?
Answer
Since infants’ gastrointestinal nerve regulation is not yet mature, and their gastrointestinal function is underdeveloped, using medication for bowel movements may lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction and side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Therefore, for infant constipation, dietary therapy is the most ideal solution. You can give the baby honey water, or add honey to milk to feed it, which works well. Additionally, eating bananas can also have a short-term effect of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements. Moreover, castor oil is also a good laxative.
