Constipation is usually caused by indigestion and irregular diet. Children's digestive system is relatively weak, and if parents feed them improperly, they may not digest it, which can lead to food accumulation. Over time, constipation symptoms may occur. Constipation is very painful and requires timely treatment. So let's learn about how to deal with constipation in young children together?
1. Adjust diet
If the food given to them is too refined or too nutritious, it can easily lead to constipation. At this point, it is necessary to adjust their diet and try to give them some coarse grains or easily digestible vegetables. For example, foods such as spinach, vegetables, radishes, etc. not only supplement vitamins in the body, but also help with gastrointestinal peristalsis and alleviate symptoms of constipation.
2. Drink plenty of water
When constipated, the stool is too dry and cannot be discharged normally. Parents can give them plenty of water, which not only promotes circulation but also nourishes the intestines, softening stool and allowing it to be excreted smoothly. So it is necessary to give them water, not only to relieve constipation, but also to enhance their immunity.
3. Massage the abdomen
Parents can massage their belly button in one direction, which not only promotes digestion but also stimulates intestinal peristalsis. Accelerating intestinal peristalsis helps to expel stool.
4. Drug conditioning
If constipation is severe, it is necessary to take them to the hospital in a timely manner and seek treatment from a doctor. Constipation for a long time can affect their healthy growth. Treating constipation with medication prescribed by a doctor can help alleviate symptoms as soon as possible.
