What to do if your child doesn't poop for 3 days

Many parents will wonder what to do if their child doesn’t poop for 3 days. Sometimes it may be physiological. If it is physiological, the child's sleep and diet are normal, and he does not cry or make a fuss. Such children should eat more vegetables, fruits and other foods rich in nutrients. They can also eat more bananas, which have a laxative effect. If your child has symptoms such as crying and abdominal pain, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Let’s take a closer look at what to do if your child doesn’t poop for 3 days.

1 To correct constipation, you can pay attention to the following points:

① Give your child plenty of water every day, eat vegetables with every meal, and eat fruits every day.

② Let your child exercise more to promote intestinal peristalsis and facilitate defecation.

③ Let your child defecate on time every day to cultivate the habit of regular defecation.

2 If you have done all these things but still can't solve the constipation problem, you can make two kinds of porridge and let your child eat them to see how effective they are.

◆Banana Rock Sugar Porridge: Take 3 bananas (about 300 grams), 100 grams of glutinous rice, and 100 grams of rock sugar. Wash the glutinous rice, peel the banana and cut it into sections, add appropriate amount of water and cook them into porridge, then add rock sugar to dissolve it. Let children eat it regularly, which can help moisturize the bowels and replenish the body.

◆Sweet potato porridge: Take 500 grams of sweet potatoes, 200 grams of rice, and a small amount of white sugar. Wash and cut the sweet potatoes into pieces, put them into a pot together with rice, add appropriate amount of water and cook into a thick porridge, add sugar, and let children eat it warm in the morning and evening, because eating it after it has cooled can easily cause heartburn. Regular consumption can strengthen the spleen and stomach and facilitate bowel movements.

3. Soap bar laxative method: Use soap to cut into a soap bar as thick as a pencil and more than 3 cm long. Moisten it with water and insert it into the baby's anus. It can stimulate the intestinal wall and cause defecation.

4. Salted radish strips laxative method: Cut radish strips into pencil-thick strips, soak them in salt water and insert them into the anus to promote defecation.

5. Enema: Injecting enema into the anus of children can stimulate the intestinal wall and cause defecation.
