Question
A 67-day-old infant, exclusively breastfed, has been suffering from constipation for over 30 days. Methods such as using glycerin suppositories and soap have failed to relieve the condition, and various treatment methods have not been effective. What should be done?
Answer
Firstly, adjust the diet to include more lubricating foods, such as fruit juices and honey water. Secondly, for children with malnutrition, strengthen nutrition. Moreover, cultivate the habit of regular bowel movements. Finally, if medication is required, it is recommended to use laxatives or traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of a pediatrician. It is suggested to bring the child to a pediatric clinic for diagnosis and treatment.
