How should we deal with constipation in children?

Patient's question:

I noticed that my child is different from other children's. Generally, if a child has a good digestive system, they have a bowel movement once a day, and the time it takes is not long, about ten minutes. However, my child has a bowel movement only every two or three days, and it takes a very long time, about half an hour. How can infant constipation be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Patient, the baby has again experienced bowel movements only once every three days, showing signs of constipation. Pay close attention to observe how dry the stool is and how bloated the abdomen is. You can give the baby some water to drink regularly. Additionally, you can consider giving some constipation-relieving medication, such as honeysuckle particles or fire-clearing treasures. It's also recommended to complement this with probiotics to help regulate digestion. Pay close attention to observe the baby's growth and development, including weight gain.
