What kind of medicine should a 4-year-old child with constipation take?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What medication should a 4-year-old with constipation take?

Doctor's answer:

A four-year-old child who experiences constipation again should pay attention to eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking more water, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Do not eat things that cause stomach upset. Otherwise, it may worsen the symptoms of constipation. If the constipation is severe, probiotics can be taken to regulate the intestinal flora. This medication helps restore the normal gut microbiota and treats constipation caused by poor diet.
