Doctor's answer:

In this situation, it is necessary to avoid using medication frequently to prevent the development of drug dependence. On a daily basis, it is important to give the baby more water and, depending on their absorption, to moderately offer fresh fruit juice to help the baby develop a regular bowel movement habit. Additionally, it is necessary to provide the baby with appropriate exercise to enhance gastrointestinal motility and reduce the recurrence of constipation. Wishing the little one a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
