Constipation in children is also a common adverse symptom, which is sometimes related to the child's physical condition, and some children's poor eating habits can also cause constipation. And children often suffer from constipation, which not only affects normal eating, but also is not conducive to physical health. So, what should a two-year-old baby do if they have constipation?
Parents can use abdominal massage to alleviate and improve constipation symptoms in a two-year-old baby. When massaging, the parent's palm should be placed downwards on the baby's abdomen, and a moderate amount of massage should be applied around the navel. You can massage clockwise for a hundred or ten turns first, and then massage counterclockwise for the same number of turns, which can be repeated for about five minutes.
If massage does not significantly improve the baby's constipation, it is necessary to seek medical examination in a timely manner, and then under the guidance of a doctor, medication can be administered through the anus to expel dry and stagnant stool. For babies with severe functional constipation, oral medication such as laxatives or probiotics can be administered to promote intestinal peristalsis and improve gut microbiota relationships. The comprehensive use of medication can effectively treat constipation.
When a two-year-old baby often suffers from constipation, parents should also pay attention to carefully regulating their baby's daily diet. Eat more fiber rich foods in moderation to promote intestinal peristalsis and facilitate bowel movements.
