Nose blocked, colic and constipation

2024-11-13 03:41:51
Hello, my 6 week old baby has not pooped since 3 days. Yesterday there was some stool on diaper but it was very dry. His nose is also blocked. Using Nasoclear for that and taking Gastica for colic (SOS). He is putting a lot of pressure but unable to pass stool and then cries in discomfort.

For constipation, which is quite common at this age group, when troublesome, glycerine suppository is an option. Avoid formula feeds.

Some exclusively breastfed babies passes stools once in  7- 10 days only. It is normal. But if the baby is crying on passing stools/ bloating is present/passing pellet like stool- you should consult a pediatrician physically .
Next Steps
your pediatrician may give glycerine enema/suppository. check TSH levels if not done already.

Hi. You cannot give any medicine for tight stool as baby is too small Just continue your feeds every 2-3 hourly. Just keep a check that he doesn't start any new symptoms like vomit or stomach bloating  etc.
Health Tips
see your pediatrician if still in doubt
