Question
A two-month-old baby hasn’t pooped for a week. What could be the possible causes?
Answer
The possible cause is constipation. It is recommended to treat with oral medications such as fleroxacin capsules and mahuang pills. Avoid spicy, alcohol, and other irritating foods. Increase the intake of fibrous foods, drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits to keep the bowels regular. Develop a habit of regular bowel movements; quit smoking and drinking; avoid overuse of medication. When you feel the urge to defecate, do so promptly and avoid suppressing the urge.
