In many families, constipation is a common occurrence in children. Whether it is big or small, parents still cannot help but worry when it happens. Especially if a child experiences prolonged constipation, the damage to the body will be even greater, so timely treatment is necessary. So what are the methods for treating constipation in children?
If a child has severe constipation, occasional or small amounts of medication such as glycerin can be used during the acute phase to help the child with local treatment and alleviate the acute symptoms first. Medications such as lactulose, which can alleviate constipation symptoms in children, can also be taken orally. The dosage of medication can be determined based on the child's age, weight, etc., and the duration of medication can be adjusted or adjusted at any time according to the child's recovery from constipation.
If constipation is not particularly severe, it is also possible to consider using probiotics containing prebiotics for children, which can be beneficial for their constipation. If there is constipation, it is necessary to adjust the child's diet. Generally, it is important to ensure a normal amount of food intake and not eat too little. In addition, it is necessary to ensure a balanced intake of various nutrients, such as not only eating fat and not carbohydrates, but also eating more foods with high dietary fiber content, which can fundamentally alleviate children's constipation.
Usually, you can cook some Congee to help children digest, such as banana rock sugar Congee, sweet potato Congee, etc. These Congee are very convenient and easy to make. Drinking more Congee can play the role of strengthening the spleen, stomach and bowel movement. The time of making porridge can be longer, and it is better for children to digest if it is cooked poorly.
