Question

Why do children at one week old experience constipation every day, and what are the causes?

Answer

Constipation in infants at one week old may be due to factors such as internal heat, underdeveloped digestive system, and insufficient water intake. Improvement can be achieved by increasing water intake, adjusting dietary structure, and massaging the abdomen. In necessary cases, external medications such as rectal suppositories can be used to relieve constipation symptoms.
