Patient's question:
I have already read about it. I have tried Si Mo Tang, probiotics, Shanzha Chicken Essence Oral Liquid, and Zhuge Cai. Eating fruits and vegetables every day hasn't helped. I eat milk twice a day and meals twice a day, along with three servings of fruit, eating until full. What medicine should be given to a 2.5-year-old child with constipation?Doctor's answer:
Childhood constipation is caused by changes in bowel habits. It refers to a significant decrease in bowel movement frequency, dry and hard stools, and incomplete evacuation. Bowel movements are infrequent and irregular, or there is a strong urge to defecate but the stool cannot be expelled. Childhood constipation can be divided into two major categories: functional constipation and organic constipation. Lactulose can be taken to improve bowel movements. Dietary regulation should be noted. Suppositories can be used externally to assist with defecation when there is difficulty in bowel movement.
