What should I do if my child has poor digestion and constipation?

Patient's question:

Over a month
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: The child has poor digestion and constipation. Is it okay to give her "Children's Digestive Tablets"?

Doctor's answer:

Child constipation is also a relatively common condition. You can try the following adjustment methods:
When treating child constipation, the primary focus should be on dietary and lifestyle adjustments. It’s important to try to diversify the diet and encourage children to eat more fruits, vegetables, and other high-fiber foods. Finally, be sure to stay hydrated. Drinking a glass of water on an empty stomach after waking up in the morning and 30 minutes before each meal can help promote bowel movement.
For children who still experience constipation despite these adjustments, you can consider taking molecular prebiotic dandelion root sugar to regulate their condition. It can effectively boost beneficial bacteria to reach the intestines, promote intestinal motility, and alleviate constipation.
