For patients experiencing constipation during formula transition, treatment can be approached in the following ways: 1. If symptoms are relatively mild, drinking an appropriate amount of warm water may help improve the condition. Consuming pear juice, banana puree, apple puree, and similar foods can also provide relief. 2. If symptoms are more severe, patients may take medications such as probiotic powders under a doctor's guidance. Lactulose oral solution and other medications may also be used in combination for regulation and treatment.
