Patient's question:
My child is 3 years old. Recently, the child has been experiencing frequent constipation. It takes a long time to defecate, and sometimes the child's face turns bright red but still can't go. It looks very painful. Moreover, the child only defecates once every two or three days. After consulting a doctor, it was said that the child has constipation. I want to ask why the child is often constipated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it could be caused by indigestion or irregular eating habits in children. It is recommended to take some probiotics to adjust the child's intestinal flora. In terms of daily care, you can gently massage the child's abdomen in a clockwise direction. The time from 7 to 9 a.m. is the working period for the large intestine, so you can massage the abdomen about 200 times during this time. In terms of dietary care, it is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables.
