Patient's question:
The doctor said it's not a big problem.Doctor's answer:
When a child experiences constipation, the first thing to pay attention to is the correct guidance from parents. Before the child defecates, parents should give signals, and the time should be basically fixed every day to gradually help the child adapt to defecating at the same time. If the child does not defecate, it is not advisable to force them, nor should they be made to sit on the toilet for a long time. In terms of diet, refined foods, vegetables, sweet potatoes, fruits, etc., should be given appropriately. For children who frequently suffer from constipation, in addition to training defecation habits, some drugs that promote intestinal motility and lubricate the intestines can also be given at intervals. It is also important to note that formula milk, breast milk, and calcium should not be consumed together. They should be spaced out by 2 hours, otherwise, they may also lead to constipation.
