Patient's question:
The child has been having difficulty defecating for several days, with multiple bowel movements in one day. The stool is very dry and hard.Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is desired: What medication should be taken?
Doctor's answer:
The first thing to pay attention to when a child suffers from constipation is the correct guidance from parents. Before the child defecates, parents should give signals, and the time should be basically fixed every day, gradually helping the child restore regular bowel movements. For children who frequently experience constipation, laxatives that promote intestinal motility and bowel lubrication can also be given intermittently. It is also important to note that formula milk, breast milk, and calcium should not be consumed together. They should be spaced out by 2 hours, otherwise, it may also lead to constipation.
