Question
What should I do if my child, over one year old, hasn’t pooped for three days?
Answer
In this situation, there’s no need to take medicine. It’s recommended to focus on a diet consisting of non-fibrous residue fluids and semi-liquid foods, and to eat more fruits. Regular exercise and drinking honey, yogurt, and other substances that aid in bowel lubrication are also helpful. Additionally, drinking a glass of cool water or diluted salt water on an empty stomach in the morning can promote intestinal movement.
