How long after taking Xiao'er Qizhen Pills will a child have a bowel movement?

Generally speaking, "la" refers to defecation. The time required for defecation after taking Xiao'er Qizhen Pills mainly depends on the severity of the condition. For mild cases, following medical advice, defecation may occur 3-72 hours after taking the medication. For more severe cases, a longer time may be needed. If there is prolonged absence of defecation, timely medical consultation is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Xiao'er Qizhen Pills are a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, with main ingredients including Bile-processed South Star (Dan Nanxing), Gastrodia Rhizome (Tianma), and Pinellia Ferment (Banxia Qu), among others. They have functions of removing blood stasis and stagnation, purging fire, relieving constipation, resolving phlegm, and calming internal wind. If a child's constipation is mild and his or her general condition is good, the medication may be absorbed quickly by the body after administration, thereby exerting its therapeutic effect and stimulating intestinal motility. In such cases, defecation may occur 3-72 hours after taking the medicine.

However, if the child's general condition is poor and the condition is more severe, with a prolonged duration of constipation, accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and loss of appetite, the onset of the medication's effect may be delayed, and defecation might not occur until more than 72 hours after administration.

Before taking Xiao'er Qizhen Pills, it is important to understand the precautions for use. Those allergic to any of the ingredients should not take the medicine. If symptoms such as allergic reactions or diarrhea occur after taking the medication, it is recommended to discontinue use immediately. For safety, strictly following a doctor's instructions when taking the medication is advised.
