Question

How to treat children’s constipation?

Answer

Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it appears to be mainly due to gastrointestinal heat leading to fluid depletion, which then causes constipation. The treatment should focus on clearing heat, moistening the intestines, and promoting bowel movements. Medications such as cod liver oil and honey can be administered, and it is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables. Additionally, since children have weaker resistance and are prone to related issues, parents should take their children to the hospital for examination and treatment promptly, and use medication under the guidance of a doctor.
