How to deal with severe childhood constipation?

Patient's question:

What should be done about severe childhood constipation?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of constipation are generally related to drinking less water, stomach discomfort, and dysregulation of intestinal function. It is recommended that in the morning, children can drink a glass of warm water and then perform clockwise abdominal massage. They can also eat more bananas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and plain yogurt. It is best to avoid fried and spicy foods as much as possible. After adjusting for a period of time, it is hoped that the child's symptoms will stabilize quickly.
Additionally, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, take good care to stay warm, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water to ensure that the condition does not recur.
