Patient's question:
My daughter is over four years old. Since yesterday, she hasn't been able to poop and has been feeling uncomfortable. She also says her buttocks hurt. Even when she manages to poop a little, the stool is very dry. I want to ask how to handle constipation in children and what medicine to buy to take.Doctor's answer:
Children's digestive system is not fully developed, and their spleen and stomach function is relatively weak. The slow gastrointestinal peristalsis may be caused by poor gastrointestinal absorption, leading to constipation. It is recommended to give your child more fiber-rich vegetables and fruits, and drink more water. Additionally, you can take spleen-strengthening and stomach-nourishing medicine, which has the effects of replenishing the spleen, boosting energy, strengthening the spleen and stomach, promoting digestion and absorption, enhancing your child's spleen and stomach function, and promoting the absorption of nutrients in the human body. This can improve your child's poor spleen and stomach function, address the issue of constipation. Pay attention to some fresh fruits and vegetables, eat more yogurt, coarse grains, bananas, etc. Pay attention to appropriate exercise, maintain a regular lifestyle, and drink more water.
