Question
I am a 47-year-old woman, and while watching my child, I noticed they were feeling uncomfortable. What medicine can I give my child to improve their constipation?
Answer
This situation may indicate that the child has poor gastrointestinal function, particularly imbalanced spleen and stomach. It is recommended to give the child symptomatic oral medication and, as much as possible, provide foods rich in fiber. Encourage the child to drink plenty of water. Currently, you can use laxatives to temporarily resolve the issue, but at the same time, pay attention to dietary regularity, orderly routines, and adjust overall physical and mental health to maintain a good mood. The diet should be light, soft, and easy to digest. Consume more vegetables and fruits, and remember to drink plenty of water.
