Patient's question:
My child is a boy. He is currently 2 and a half years old. Since he was 0 years old until now, he has never been able to defecate by himself. Every time he needs to use Kao Sai Lu to defecate. Otherwise, he cannot go. What is going on, doctor?Doctor's answer:
The first point to pay attention to when children have constipation is the correct guidance from parents. The signals before the baby defecates. It is basically fixed at the same time every day. Gradually adapt to the defecation time. If the child does not defecate, they should not force them to do so. Nor can they force the children to sit on the bed for a long time. In terms of diet, they should give some refined foods, vegetables, sweet potatoes, fruits, etc. Children with constipation usually need to train their defecation habits. They can also take medication regularly to promote intestinal peristalsis and laxation.
