How to treat constipation in a 6 months old child?
Patient: hello doctor, good evening. my daughter is 6 months old & has been prescribed silybon syrup, carmicide syrup to improve digestion , also for the complaint of constipation. she was Nan-1for last 4months. Now she has been advised for Enfamil A+. how it will work??? plz reply Doctor: Hi .  I think you need to start her on weaning  foods to improve her constipation.  Ragi porridge is a good one to start.  Also you can give Rice porridge or kanji. Can add vegetable soup,  fruit juice without sugar or little sugar,  boiled apple,  banana etc. Introduce one new  item a week.  If on breastfeeding,  continue it and avoid powder milk. Changing milk brand  may or may not work. It is just a trial. Generally I don't prescribe silybon or carmicide syrup.  Also not every child passes stool daily.  It varies from child to child.
