Answers
It is recommended to undergo a barium enema examination. If the condition is mild or detected early, conservative treatment can be adopted, such as regular dilation of the anus or using soap to stimulate defecation. Additionally, helping the child develop a regular bowel movement habit is also very important. Moreover, there are various factors causing pediatric digestive diseases. Once diagnosed, immediate treatment should be initiated, along with gastrointestinal decompression and good hygiene practices. Parents should avoid allowing their children to be picky eaters and maintain a balanced diet.
