This situation should be due to the child's low physical activity, which slows down gastrointestinal movement, leading to dry stools. In addition to the possibility of internal hemorrhoids in the anus causing difficulty in defecation, it may be necessary to use warm water for the child to sit in a bath and eat more fiber-rich vegetables such as celery and pumpkin.
