How to Handle a 3-Month-Old Baby’s Constipation That Has Lasted for 8 Days?

Question

How should I handle a 3-month-old baby’s constipation that has been ongoing for 8 days?

Answer

This condition may be due to insufficient body fluids, leading to dryness in the intestines and a lack of lubrication, thereby affecting bowel movements. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is referred to as the “Insufficient Fluids and Dry Intestines” syndrome. To alleviate this situation, a herbal tea called “Bian Nai Tong Tea” can be used to help improve intestinal function and promote bowel movements.
