Question
I am 29 years old and have a 3-year-old boy. I’ve noticed he’s feeling some discomfort and would like to ask: How should I handle my baby’s constipation?
Answer
A 3-year-old boy, due to his high level of physical activity and sweating, is prone to dehydration, which can lead to constipation. Consuming spicy, fried foods, or fast food can also cause constipation. It’s advisable to ensure he drinks plenty of water or cool beverages and adjust his diet structure by eating more vegetables, tomatoes, and pork blood, which can aid in bowel movements. If you find that the stool is too hard and difficult to pass, you can use medication as a Mild assist.
