What medicine can children with constipation eat?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Constipation in babies is usually caused by improper diet, so when a baby is constipated, expectant mothers should not get anxious. Methods such as adjusting the baby's dietary habits can be tried to treat the constipation.
Some infants are accustomed to having a bowel movement every 2-3 days. As long as the stool is not hard and there are no difficulties or discomfort, it is not considered constipation, and no treatment is necessary. For newborns and small infants who primarily consume milk, water, light salt water, or diluted vegetable juice should be given between feedings. Each time, 20-30 milliliters should be given to alter the intestinal osmotic pressure and promote bowel movement.
