Question 1: My baby is one and a half years old and has dry stool and difficulty in defecation. What should I do? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: First of all, since the water in stool mainly comes from the decomposition and fermentation of cellulose in food, you should usually eat more foods rich in fiber, such as vegetables such as bamboo shoots, spinach, pumpkin, cabbage, rape, etc., and fruits such as Jujubes, apples, pears, etc., as well as whole grain foods. Nutrition should be balanced, don’t be picky about food, and don’t force your baby to eat. Secondly, massage the baby\’s belly in a clockwise direction with the navel as the center for ten minutes each time, several times a day. Finally, you can boil red radish and fragrant pear (with core) water for your baby to drink. Generally, defecation will be smoother the next day. You can also take probiotics and lactulose oral liquid for conditioning. Question: My baby\’s neck is flooded in two or three months, with some bleeding and broken skin. What treatment and care is needed? Can I use corn talcum powder for care? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: Disinfect with iodophor and dry it before applying Baiduobang ointment. Do not use talcum powder at this time to avoid powder particles clogging pores. Just take a shower to keep your skin hygienic and dry. Question 3: The baby is three and a half months old. Last night, I suddenly noticed that her mouth was a little blue, but it became normal after two minutes. She is feeding well and in good spirits. What\’s going on? I was hospitalized in the neonatology department after I was born. I had a cardiac ultrasound done at that time, but the doctor didn’t say there was any heart problem. Doctor Zhang Yanyan answered: The baby may be choking and coughing due to gastroesophageal reflux. From now on, the head of the bed should be raised 30-45 degrees when the baby sleeps.
