Question
Is it normal for a 7-year-old to have two bowel movements a day, and what are the improvement methods?
Answer
Having two bowel movements a day for a 7-year-old may indicate constipation. Parents are advised to give their child adequate water and perform clockwise abdominal massage to help improve the condition. Additionally, the use of rectal suppositories or soap sticks can temporarily alleviate the symptoms, but should not be used long-term.
