Question
Is It Suitable for a Three-Year-Old Child to Take Laxative Solutions?
Answer
It is advised not to take them. For a three-year-old child with constipation, first, we need to ensure an adequate intake of vegetables every day, and secondly, develop the habit of regular bowel movements. Pediatric constipation can be divided into two major categories: functional constipation and organic constipation. Functional constipation is the most common in clinical practice, accounting for 95% of pediatric constipation. Constipation is closely related to dietary structure, and it is recommended to improve those bad habits as much as possible.
