Patient's question:
My little treasure had a bit of severe constipation at the age of one month. Sometimes, the child only had a bowel movement once a week, and it was often accompanied by abdominal pain. I was very worried that this condition was not good for the child's health. So, how can we address pediatric constipation? What should we pay attention to in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of mild constipation is most important to adjust the dietary structure. For example, the diet should be light, and it is better to eat small amounts frequently to consume many easily digestible foods. Eat more foods rich in fiber, and avoid greasy and spicy foods that are too stimulating. At the same time, drink more warm water appropriately, actively engage in outdoor activities that you can manage to increase personal immunity and promote intestinal peristalsis.
