Question

What should be done if a child experiences severe constipation multiple times?

Answer

For children who have frequent constipation, regional application of lubricant laxatives can be used to alleviate symptoms. If constipation occurs frequently, it may be due to excessive internal heat causing dry stools. It is recommended to use cooling and fire-reducing medicine for adjustment, or to undergo pediatric acupuncture for internal heat reduction treatment, in order to effectively relieve the problem of dry stools.
