Answer
Hello, for functional constipation, it is important to have a balanced diet, pay attention to the ratio of formula milk, be mindful of dietary fiber and water intake, avoid allergic foods; also, train good bowel habits. For children whose basic treatment does not work well, consider oral laxatives (such as lactulose) and probiotics for combined treatment. In addition to eating more fruits and vegetables, it is recommended to drink a cup of honey water every evening for long-term nourishment. Maintain regular bowel movements with a cycle of 24 hours. It is not recommended to use medication.
