Doctor's answer:
Hello, for functional constipation, it is important to pay attention to a balanced diet, the proper mixing of formula milk, and the intake of dietary fiber and water, while avoiding allergenic foods. Additionally, training for bowel habits is necessary. For children whose basic treatment is not effective, oral laxatives (such as lactulose) and probiotics can be considered for synergistic therapy. In addition to eating more fruits and vegetables, it is also recommended to drink a cup of honey water every night for long-term conditioning. Regular bowel movements with a cycle of 24 hours are advisable. Medication is not recommended.
