Constipation is a problem that many adults face, and children may also experience constipation. Adult constipation may be caused by a complex daily diet, while children's diet is not as complex as adults. Why does constipation occur? This makes the child particularly worried. What's wrong with constipation?
There are three main reasons for constipation in children: firstly, reduced intestinal peristalsis speed; secondly, abnormal diet; and thirdly, possible internal heat. It is recommended that when a child experiences constipation symptoms, parents should analyze the child's actual situation to see what causes constipation and how to solve it.
Normal children should defecate once or twice a day. If a child experiences constipation, parents can help improve their diet first. Let children eat more vegetables, fruits and coarse grains, and use the fiber, vitamins and water in the food to help the intestines wriggle, so as to defecate. For example, pitaya, oatmeal Congee, sweet potatoes and other foods can help defecate.
Parents should encourage their children to drink more water. Drinking too much water can make the bowel movements in the intestines more moist, resulting in smoother bowel movements. Parents should encourage their children to develop the habit of regular bowel movements and ask them to squat in the toilet at a fixed time every day, which can effectively alleviate symptoms of constipation. In addition, monitor children's diet on a daily basis and do not let them frequently eat foods that are prone to internal heat.
