Patient's question:
My baby is currently not sure what's wrong, always constipated, and then doesn't want to eat. I'm very worried and don't know what to do. I want to ask how to deal with children's constipation for 2 days and what they should eat.Doctor's answer:
Constipation is only diagnosed when there is no bowel movement for more than three days. If a child has not had a bowel movement for two days but is able to pass it, it does not qualify as constipation. If there is no obvious feeling of bloating or fullness, medication treatment is not necessary.If a child frequently experiences two days without a bowel movement, it may only be a potential cause of constipation. This can be managed by increasing fluid intake, providing honey, eating more rough fiber foods, and avoiding spicy foods for dietary adjustment.
Children generally have weaker digestive systems.
