What are some good treatments for pediatric constipation?

Patient's question:

Daughter hasn't had a bowel movement for several days. How could she, at such a young age, experience constipation again? We are quite careful about what we eat at home, rarely letting her eat outside where the food might not be clean. She is also in pain from holding it in, with a swollen belly. What are some good treatments for infant constipation?

Doctor's answer:

The issue of discomfort due to constipation in children may be related to gastrointestinal discomfort, poor supplementation, or an unreasonable diet. It could also be caused by a recurrence of stomach issues. It is recommended to conduct thorough examinations in the future to identify the specific problem. Timely medication should be used for regulation, and detailed acupuncture and massage treatments should be given attention. Good hygiene should also be maintained.
