How to treat constipated children?

Patient's question:

The child has a problem with bowel movements. I want to know the reasons for this situation, and how to treat the baby's illness?

Doctor's answer:

Any medication used to treat constipation is temporary and cannot solve permanent issues, so it can only address good habits. If a person does not have a bowel movement for more than 3 days, it is considered habitual constipation. On one hand, one should eat more fruits and vegetables and consume more soup. Avoid adding spicy or salty ingredients to dry diets. On the other hand, it is important to develop a regular bowel movement habit, encouraging the person to sit on the toilet for a while, regardless of whether they feel the urge to defecate.
