Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. constipation in children is common in which diet modification needs to be done like including high fibres in the diet for which you can give seasonal fruits like papaya, watermelon and seasonal vegetables will also help you can give daliya , oatsmeal also to your child which is rich in fibres and nutrients tooo.
giving excess of milk may also cause constipation, so you should limit its quantity.also avoid banana whichl may aggravate .lactulose or polyethylene glycol is of good help, sorbilene is also an option but you should give any medicine or suppository only when prescribed by your pediatriciman.. medication is the secondary option.diet modification is the key.plenty of liquids are of great help too.

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Constipation is usually a very common problem seen in many cases where the most important causative factor is decrease intake of high fibre diet along with lesser fluid intake.
some food like junk food mostly containingwg maida and oily food can aggravate such condition.
diet modification should be tried first followed by medications like lactulose milk of magnesia and PEG .
