Question

A baby who is almost three months old has not had a bowel movement for over 15 days, but is in good condition and urinating normally. What should be done?

Answer

It is recommended to seek immediate medical attention at a pediatric department and actively pursue treatments to promote bowel movements. Meanwhile, relevant checks should be conducted to confirm the absence of congenital megacolon or other related diseases. In daily care, it is important to strengthen the baby’s care. If there are no other illnesses, probiotics can be administered intermittently to promote the growth of intestinal flora and bowel motility, aiding in defecation.
