Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Pediatric constipation is very common in clinical practice. Long-term constipation often leads to anal fissures and blood in the stool, which is also quite common. The key to treatment is to address the root cause! For constipation, my experience is to focus on regulating the spleen and stomach. It is not advisable to use fire-clearing or purgative medications or honey products lightly. Generally, after a period of regulation and with improved dietary habits, it will not recur.
