Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 years old, but she always has dry stools. Taking medicine and drinking honey water helps for a few days. But after a few days, her stools are still dry and come out one egg at a time. What should I do? Taking Chinese medicine, give me a solution.Doctor's answer:
A five-year-old child frequently suffers from constipation, which is likely caused by an unreasonable dietary structure. It is recommended to adjust the diet first. If the effect is not satisfactory, consider medication for regulation. Suggest the child consume more vegetables and fruits like bananas and apples, and reduce the intake of spicy and greasy foods. Develop the habit of defecating in the morning to expel accumulated waste. If these dietary adjustments do not show improvement, consider using a suppository to insert into the anus or taking laxative tablets to induce defecation. Wish you a speedy recovery.
