When feces accumulates in the intestines for a long time, a large amount of toxic substances are produced, which will reduce brain function and affect intellectual development. Constipation in infants and young children is a common disease with many causes. One type is functional constipation, which can be cured through conditioning; the other type is constipation caused by congenital intestinal malformations, which cannot be cured through general conditioning and must be corrected through surgery. The vast majority of infant constipation is functional. The general treatment methods for childhood constipation are: 1. Drink more water. 2. For breastfed babies, mothers should pay attention to adjusting their diet structure and eat a light diet. Mothers should also drink more water. 3. Massage the baby's abdomen clockwise twice a day, each time for 5-10 minutes. 4. If the problem has not been solved for many days, try Baoruntong. The baby's condition is manifested by constipation, but it is not a manifestation of disease, so no medication is needed. The baby's condition can only be observed through self-regulation. You can consider drinking more honey and eating more fruits to correct it, or you can consider using Qinghuobao granules to relieve the treatment.

The above is the relevant content about why a five-month-old baby is constipated. Constipation is mainly caused by bad food, such as eating bad food, which leads to poor gastrointestinal function. It’s okay if adults have strong immunity. The eating problems of infants must be taken seriously. If you have constipation, do not use any folk remedies. It is best to go to a regular children's hospital for examination and treatment. I hope this can help everyone.
