Patient's question:
I am a 43-year-old woman who recently discovered that her child is not doing well. After a check-up, it was found that the child actually has an illness. Please ask: What should be done about constipation in children?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of constipation in the baby is primarily considered to be caused by a lack of moisture in the intestines and slow peristalsis. It is recommended to actively treat the symptoms. Currently, it is best to drink more water while also coordinating abdominal clockwise massage to enhance and stabilize intestinal peristalsis, which can surpass the effect of laxatives. Then, the patient needs to maintain a regular diet, follow a consistent sleep schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink more water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
