Question
How do I handle constipation in a 3-year-old baby?
Answer
It is recommended to use probiotics, lactulose oral solution, and other medications. Additionally, we suggest a child’s defecation training method: encourage the child to sit on the toilet for defecation training, three times a day, for five minutes each time. The best time for defecation training is after meals, as intestinal peristalsis is more active then. Parents should help their children get timely treatment for diseases while also ensuring the baby’s daily diet is balanced and nutritious, avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
