Question
Why does an 8-year-old child have long-term constipation? There’s no feeling of bloating. What was the previous treatment and its effectiveness: Ultrasound shows no stool in the abdomen, which is normal. What kind of help do you need: What are the causes? How should it be treated?
Answer
You’ve been experiencing constipation for a while now, right? Is it a consistent issue or just recent? You need to clarify this. If it’s recent, then dietary adjustments should be made, and she should receive daily abdominal massage in a clockwise direction. If it’s been going on for a while, then there’s a need for long-term dietary and medication adjustments to stabilize absorption function. Additionally, it may be necessary to visit the hospital for a follow-up. Don’t let it lead to bowel obstruction.
