Patient's question:
What should I do if my three-year-old has severe constipation? They haven't had a bowel movement for a week, and every time they say their lower abdomen hurts but nothing comes out.Doctor's answer:
First, if constipation is severe, it is appropriate to use laxatives for treatment, but it is not advisable to use them long-term. Start with dietary habits in daily life; avoid eating too much food that is difficult to digest. You can appropriately eat more dragon fruits or bananas. During the day, you can take probiotics orally to help regulate intestinal movement. Regularly taking probiotics can alleviate constipation.
