Question
How should I handle a child with indigestion and constipation?
Answer
For the treatment of a child’s constipation, the first step should be to adjust the dietary structure, increase the intake of fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber, and pay attention to water supplementation. Drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning and half an hour before meals can help moisten the intestines and promote bowel movement. For children who still have constipation after dietary adjustments, consider using oligosaccharides to promote intestinal peristalsis and resolve the constipation issue.
