Patient's question:
My child is three years old and has been constipated all the time. As a parent, I'm very worried that the condition might worsen. Regarding the issue I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.Doctor's answer:
Constipation in three-year-old babies is often caused by factors such as heatiness, insufficient food intake, inadequate water intake, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and imbalance of gut microbiota. For long-term constipation, you can also increase abdominal massage exercises. Rotate your hands around the navel as the center at least 200 times, which has a very good effect on promoting intestinal peristalsis. It is especially effective to do this while lying in bed in the morning and before going to sleep. It is essential to eat a lot of vegetables, especially sweet potatoes, celery, chives, radishes, etc., which have a very good bowel movement effect.
