Why is my 2-year-old baby struggling with constipation?

Patient's Query

She is 2years 7months old baby. She is facing constipation problem (3days / 2days once) the stole also very hard while coming out. She is very struggling because of it. Am giving spinach weekly thrice and giving vegetables daily in her meal. Apple everyday. She is not comfortable in chewing it and taking lot of time so am offering her in smoothy form.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Constipation means less number of bowel movements or finding of it difficult to do so. This can happen due to the lack of fiber and water in the diet. You did a good job with spinach, veggies, and apple. You can also try giving her more water and whole grains along with her meals.

Water keeps coming out of the mouth

Male | Yaran

It may be that excessive drooling is what you have. Certain medications, and how the muscles of your mouth work can cause this. To help with it, try swallowing more often and sitting up straight. Have a cloth nearby to wipe away any saliva that bothers you. If this does not stop soon, try talking to a doctor about why they think it is happening.

Sharp pain under rib cage

Male | 35

If you happen to feel a sudden acute pain just under your rib cage it might be quite a stressful condition. It may be because of various reasons. If you have wounded or knocked down that place, that might be the reason it hurts. Sometimes, gas in your stomach might be also the reason you experience this. Visit a doctor to find out the cause and proper treatment.
