Question
What causes children’s constipation?
Answer
Children’s constipation is usually related to insufficient water intake, excessive milk consumption, and low intestinal function. We suggest that parents can give their child some honey water and increase the amount of vegetable puree and fruit puree appropriately. If the constipation is severe, a rectal suppository can be used to alleviate the difficulty of defecation. Additionally, children can take pediatric seven-herb pills to assist in treating constipation. Wishing your child a healthy growth.
