A. When a child is suffering from constipation so you will have to give diet rich in fibre along with plenty of water. and specially diet should contain papaya and banana and oats which will help in decreasing constipation. even after dietary modification your problem is not improving then you will have to give laxatives to the child after medical consultation. it is important for you to know that constipation cannot be cured but can be only controlled with the help of laxatives which give temporary relief. kindly balance the medicine with dietary modification
