How to help a 3-year-old with constipation

Patient's question:

Boy baby, 4 years old this year, recently he always coughs, and his bowel movements are not very good, please ask: How to deal with constipation in 3-year-old babies

Doctor's answer:

Medication recommendations: probiotics, lactulose oral solution. Recommendations for children's bowel training: First, encourage the child to sit on the toilet for bowel training three times a day, for 5 minutes each time. Since intestinal peristalsis is very active after meals, it is advisable to schedule bowel training time after meals. For parents, it is important to help the child receive timely treatment for any illness. Additionally, the baby's diet should be balanced in daily life, avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
