If a child feels uncomfortable, it not only causes a lot of discomfort, but also makes parents extremely worried, such as constipation. It will seriously affect the growth of the baby. If parents want to provide timely adjustment, let's take a look at how to deal with their child's constipation together?
1. Medication treatment: Severe constipation can make babies feel uncomfortable and have difficulty defecating. Parents need to take their children to the hospital for a detailed examination. More reasonable treatment and care can be provided based on the specific condition of the child.
2. Drink plenty of water: Drinking plenty of water can regulate the intestinal environment in a timely manner. Water is essential for humans, especially those who suffer from constipation. Due to constipation, stool must be dry and hard, making it difficult to excrete from the body. Drinking more water can increase intestinal hydration, promote the secretion of intestinal fluids, and make it easier to excrete.
3. Massage the abdomen: When a child is constipated, parents should pay attention to helping the child do more abdominal massages, which can help the child digest. Be careful not to massage too strongly, as constipation can cause stool to accumulate in the intestines. If the massage is too strong, the baby's stomach may feel uncomfortable.
4. Eat more fruits: Fruits are rich in various dietary fibers and trace elements, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, increase intestinal secretion of fluids, and thus achieve the effect of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements.
5. Proper exercise: When a child has constipation, do not sit for long periods of time. If the baby sits still and their intestines are curved and circuitous, it will be difficult for them to defecate, leading to severe constipation. However, appropriate exercise can keep the intestines in a dynamic state, promote intestinal peristalsis, make feces easier to excrete under gravity, and accelerate intestinal peristalsis.
