A. If your child is suffering from severe constipation, it's important to take steps to relieve their discomfort and promote regular bowel movements. Start by increasing their fluid intake, encouraging them to drink plenty of water throughout the day. A diet high in fiber can also help; include fruits such as apples, pears, and prunes, vegetables like broccoli and carrots, and whole grains. You might consider adding a small amount of pureed prunes or prune juice to their diet, as this can be effective in alleviating constipation. Encourage regular physical activity, as movement can stimulate digestion and promote bowel movements. If these dietary and lifestyle changes do not provide relief within a few days, or if your child is experiencing significant pain, bleeding, or other concerning symptoms, consult your pediatrician. They may recommend over-the-counter options or other treatments to address the constipation effectively.
