Question
What should I do if my three-year-old child often has constipation?
Answer
Constipation in a three-year-old baby is often caused by internal heat, insufficient food intake, lack of water, disordered gastrointestinal function, and imbalance of gut flora. You can also increase abdominal massage exercises, with the center of rotation around the navel, massaging at least 200 times to promote peristalsis effectively, especially when lying in bed in the morning and before bedtime. Make sure to eat a large amount of vegetables, especially sweet potatoes, celery, chives, and carrots, which have a good effect on defecation.
