Patient's question:
At the age of four and a half, the child had bloody, dry stools with small lumps, and underwent a polyp removal surgery. However, the child still frequently experiences dry stools, and despite trying many methods, the condition has not improved significantly. The parent is very concerned about a recurrence and is seeking advice.Previous Treatment and Effects: The child has undergone surgery.
Desired Assistance: The parent heard that drinking raw honey on an empty stomach can alleviate constipation and wants to know if it is safe to do so.
Doctor's answer:
Currently, the child is experiencing constipation. At this time, it is essential to pay attention to promptly adjusting the child's dietary structure. Increase the intake of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and drink more water. A healthy dietary habit is the foundation for resolving dry stools. Additionally, various foods can be used, such as bananas and honey water, which have a certain laxative effect. At the same time, probiotics like Align can be used to promote changes in bowel movements.
