Question
What should I do if my child has constipation?
Answer
Children may experience dry stools, which could be due to improper defecation, gastrointestinal dysfunction, or endocrine imbalances. It is recommended to have your child consume more fruits and vegetables, as well as light, soft foods. Also, maintain good dietary discipline and a regular lifestyle. Consider using symptomatic medications to alleviate the difficulty in defecation. Additionally, regularly massage your child’s abdomen, and be mindful not to suppress bowel movements. Keep a positive mood in daily life and drink plenty of water.
