Constipation, though not a major illness, can be extremely painful, and it’s important to pay attention to it in daily life.

If a 5-month-old baby experiences constipation, it may be effective to give them half a packet of Yakult probiotics each time. This method has been proven to be effective and can resolve the issue gently. Additionally, gentle abdominal massage is also a feasible solution. You can gently massage the baby’s abdomen with your palm, centering around the navel, moving in circles from left to right, and repeating this 10 times before resting for 5 minutes.

What are the possible causes, dietary treatments, pharmacological methods, and potential consequences for children experiencing constipation?

Children often cough after a cold. How can an effective treatment be carried out?

Cough after exercise in children may be a common symptom caused by respiratory system infections or asthma, which is usually relieved with antibiotic treatment. However, in some cases, even the use of various antibiotics and expectorants fails to alleviate the cough, which may be a sign of cough-variant asthma. Treating cough-variant asthma requires targeted treatment, avoiding blind use of antibiotics, and combining Chinese and Western medicine treatments. Additionally, actively identifying allergens and avoiding triggers, as well as enhancing immune function, are essential.

How to treat cough and fever? You can use antiviral cold medications containing analgesics and antihistamines, as well as Chinese herbs like Shuanghua and Shuanghuanglian, which have cooling and detoxifying effects. Drinking plenty of water is important, as colds are more common in autumn and winter when the weather is drier. Let your child rest well, and it usually takes a few days to recover. If the fever is severe, the child is not feeling well, or the cough and other symptoms persist for a long time, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s advice on medication.

Considering bronchitis or tracheitis as the cause of your cough. If your cough persists and antibiotics and antiviral medications are not effective, it is important to rule out a mycoplasma or chlamydia infection. Since children’s thermoregulatory centers are not fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors and can lead to temperature fluctuations. Generally, if the fever is below 38 degrees Celsius, there is no need to take fever-reducing drugs. Physical cooling methods such as wiping the body with alcohol or using warm water to wipe the face and forehead can be used. If the fever exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken.

Seeking treatment advice for children with cough and rhinitis.

A 7-month-old baby developed asthma bronchitis after a cold, still coughing after medication and saline treatment, seeking further treatment methods.

If you or your child is suffering from bronchitis with symptoms such as cough and runny nose, consider taking anti-inflammatory medications like Hiklau and traditional Chinese medicine like Xiao’er Qing Fei Huatan Granules to alleviate these symptoms. In severe cases, intravenous therapy may be necessary. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene habits, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding irritating foods can also help improve the condition.
