Swollen lymph nodes in the abdomen of a 20-month-old baby will not cause constipation

Whether a 20-month-old baby's abdominal lymphadenopathy will cause constipation needs to be judged on a case-by-case basis. If it is caused by physiological factors, it generally does not cause constipation; However, if it is caused by pathological factors, constipation may occur.

1. May not cause constipation

If the abdominal lymphadenopathy is caused by non-pathological factors such as improper diet or cold, and it is not accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, this condition usually does not affect normal gastrointestinal function and does not cause symptoms of constipation. Therefore, no special treatment is required, and it is recommended to adjust poor eating habits and living habits.

2. It may cause constipation

1. Intestinal flora imbalance: If the child has intestinal flora imbalance, it will lead to a decrease in the beneficial bacteria in the intestine and an increase in harmful bacteria, resulting in a decrease in digestion and a slowdown in peristalsis, which will induce symptoms such as bloating, loss of appetite and constipation. You can take drugs such as Bifidobacterium triple viable bacteria powder and Bacillus subtilis double viable bacteria granules for treatment according to the doctor's instructions.

2. Intestinal obstruction: a general term for a class of diseases that cause disorders in the passage of intestinal contents due to various reasons, which are mainly manifested in clinical manifestations such as abdominal pain, vomiting, abdominal distention, and cessation of gas and defecation. For mild cases, it can be relieved by fasting water and gastrointestinal decompression, while for severe cases, surgery is required.

In addition, it may also be caused by acute enteritis, parasitic infection, etc., which will also have a certain impact on the above conditions. If necessary, parents should take their children to the doctor for examination and treatment in a timely manner.
