Question
The child has been crying incessantly and doesn’t eat much. How should pediatric constipation be treated?
Answer
If a child frequently experiences constipation, it is necessarily linked to intestinal flora imbalance and poor gastrointestinal motility. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, eat small meals more frequently, and after meals, to massage the abdominal area and engage in physical activity appropriately, which can effectively promote gastrointestinal motility and alleviate constipation symptoms. If necessary, taking some probiotics to adjust the imbalance of intestinal flora can be helpful. Generally, being mindful of diet can effectively ease the condition.
