How to treat constipation in a 2-year-old baby

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want it to be like this. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Please ask, how do you treat constipation for a 2-year-old child?

Doctor's answer:

Usually, it is important to let the baby eat more fruits and vegetables, drink some honey water, and feed them on time. It is recommended to follow a feeding method that emphasizes eating less and more often. You can often massage the baby's abdomen to promote digestion and improve gastrointestinal function. If necessary, you can use medicine, such as Xiao'er Qi Xing Cha, for treatment. This may be due to the baby's indigestion. It is suggested that you can give the baby some digestive aids, such as pancreatic granules. Also, you can feed the baby with small, frequent meals. After feeding, you can hold the baby upright and gently tap their back, which can also be effective.
