What are the methods for treating pediatric constipation?

Patient's question:

Female, 1 year old, from Shanghai. The child often suffers from constipation.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is due to constipation caused by the baby getting hot. The best remedy for treating baby constipation is to drink more water! If the baby doesn't like drinking water, you can boil pears or mix calcium water. These two are slightly sweet and the baby will enjoy them. Then gradually reduce the sweetness to help the baby adapt to plain water. You can occasionally use radish strips, soap strips, or suppositories to help the baby relieve constipation. It's important to drink plenty of plain water on a daily basis.
In addition to paying attention to feeding the baby correctly, you can also give the baby some cooling products to alleviate the symptoms of getting hot. When selecting cooling products for infants and young children, it's essential to pay attention to: safety, effectiveness, and non-dependence.
