Question
Last year to the present, my child’s stool has been hard first and then soft, with pain during defecation. Medication was used last year, and it has recurred this year. What treatment methods are available?
Answer
It is recommended to increase fluid intake and, if necessary, use a pediatric enema to assist with defecation. If accompanied by cold symptoms, you can also take children’s rapid-effect cold granules while paying attention to keeping warm. The causes of pediatric digestive diseases are diverse. If diagnosed, treatment should be coordinated with a doctor, including gastrointestinal decompression and cultivating good hygiene habits. Children should consume a balanced diet and avoid spicy and cold foods.
