Doctor's answer:

Constipation in children can be resolved using painless methods.
(1) Gently rub the child's abdomen with the palm of your hand, starting from the navel and moving in a clockwise direction. Massage 10 times, rest for 5 minutes, then massage another 10 times. Repeat this process 3 times.
(2) Have the child lie on their back and gently perform leg flexion and extension movements, alternating between extending and flexing each leg 10 times. Then, perform 10 single-leg flexion and extension movements.
(3) Apply an oily topical medication (such as tetracycline ointment) to the child's anal opening. Place soft paper under it and gently push and press the anus, gradually doing this 10 times. Usually, the child will soon feel the urge to defecate or have a bowel movement.
