Patient's question:
Doctor, could I trouble you for a few minutes? My son is now five years old, and he hasn't had a bowel movement for these past few days. It's making me lose my appetite. I hope you can help me solve this problem. How should pediatric constipation be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described: A five-year-old child is experiencing recurrent constipation. We should use suppositories in a timely manner to relieve the symptoms. However, to prevent the child from experiencing constipation repeatedly, it is important to include more fiber-rich vegetables and fruits in their daily diet, and to drink some warm water appropriately to see if the condition improves. In terms of diet, it should be light.
