Baby has hemorrhoids. If the condition is severe, timely medication should be administered. Chinese medicine physiotherapy or washing with warm water can also be chosen to promote blood circulation around the anus and help relieve baby's hemorrhoid flare-ups. In terms of diet, it is recommended to feed the baby with easy-to-digest foods, avoiding spicy and greasy foods. Appropriately include fresh vegetables and fruits in the diet, and encourage the baby to drink plenty of water.
What to do if a baby has hemorrhoids:
1. Apply a warm compress: Two to three times a day, gently massage the anus with a warm or damp towel for about one minute. Keep the baby still, preferably lying flat on a bed. Allow the baby to rest for a while after the massage before moving. This can help relieve skin issues around the anus and reduce the baby's pain.
2. Pay attention to diet: Most children get hemorrhoids due to constipation. When introducing solid foods, parents should be cautious and avoid blindly adding foods. Follow a baby-friendly diet plan and introduce appropriate solid foods accordingly. Avoid feeding the baby spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. Encourage the baby to drink plenty of water.
3. Maintain hygiene: Many babies wear split pants, especially in summer. When sitting on the ground, bacteria can sometimes enter the body and cause infections. If the baby's stool is not cleaned thoroughly after defecation, it can also lead to hemorrhoids. Avoid dressing the baby in split pants as much as possible. After defecation, ensure the area is cleaned thoroughly, either by wiping with a clean cloth or rinsing with warm water and drying.
