Question
The child had diarrhea two days ago after drinking soda. Now that the diarrhea has subsided, the child is unable to have a bowel movement. Laxatives and digestives haven’t worked. What should I do? It’s been 4 days.
Answer
The recurrence of diarrhea followed by constipation in the child may be due to incomplete spleen and stomach function or poor digestion after catching a cold. It is recommended to adjust the diet and try using mugwort sticks to smoke the Leg Three Miles on the child’s leg, as well as massaging the abdomen or pinching the spine to treat the constipation.
