Is it normal for a 7-year-old child to have two bowel movements a day?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is often considered constipation. If the child has not had a bowel movement for several days, it is recommended to use infant glycerin suppositories or soap sticks, but do not use them for a long time. Drink water appropriately for the child and perform clockwise abdominal massage for the baby, which can help improve constipation.
