What should I do if my baby has internal heat and constipation?

The health of babies is very important, because babies are prone to physical problems during their development, which can cause developmental problems. There are many factors that cause babies to get sick, among which internal heat constipation is the most common. This symptom often makes the baby's stomach bloated and the bloating is particularly severe. Let's take a look at what to do if the baby has internal heat constipation?

In case of constipation, you should pay attention to adjusting the child's diet. If the stool is severely dry and hard, you can use medication to relieve constipation in the acute phase, such as lactulose, etc. You can also consider adding probiotics. The most important thing is to rely on dietary conditioning. If the child has already added complementary foods, pay attention to adjusting the dietary structure. Try to eat more sweet potatoes, bananas, prune puree, etc. to help defecation. If complementary foods have not been added or have just been added, mainly adjust the milk products.

Children with dry stools need to pay attention to their diet. Excessive protein intake, calcium and zinc supplements, too much refined food, and medication (especially antibiotics) can also cause dry stools. Pay attention to eating more green vegetables and fruit juice (you can give some orange juice, pear juice or carrot juice)

Common treatments for childhood constipation include:

1. Drink more water. It is recommended to add some bifidobacterium factors to water or milk, which can not only prevent and improve constipation symptoms, but also promote the absorption of trace elements such as calcium.

2. For breastfed babies, mothers should pay attention to adjusting their diet structure, eat a light diet, and drink more water.

3. Massage the baby's abdomen clockwise. Use your palm to gently rub the baby's abdomen, with the navel as the center, rotating from left to right. Massage 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, and then massage 10 times. Repeat 3 times.

4. If the symptoms persist for several days, you can use a pediatric suppository

5. Feed more fruit and vegetable juice. Do not feed too fast or too full each time, and the concentration of milk powder should be dilute.

The above is an explanation of what to do if your baby has internal heat and constipation. I hope everyone can pay more attention and actively help your baby deal with this problem.
