Question
How to treat children’s constipation?
Answer
Treatment for children’s constipation includes adjusting dietary structure, increasing dietary fiber intake, drinking plenty of water, performing appropriate abdominal massage and exercise, and using medications such as glycerin suppositories or soap bars. For breastfed babies, mothers need to be mindful of their diet, while formula-fed babies should have the formula concentration diluted. Additionally, changing lifestyle habits, such as increasing outdoor activities and consuming fiber-rich foods, can promote bowel movement.
