A. constipation is a very common problem for 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 and oatsmeal also to your child which is rich in fibres and nutrients too. giving excesss of milk may also cause constipation, so you should limit the quantity. if any medication is rreequired you should take it under medical guidance only.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 pediatrician.

A. hi usually it happens because of inadequate intake of fluids and low fiber diet. so at first, please keep your child well hydrated offer fiber rich food like green leafy vegetables, tomatoes soup, prune juice, fruit like pear papaya plum banana etc to your child. you can give soaked balck raisins which will work as natural laxative. encourage your child to do more physical activities. skip bakery food items. give massage to your child daily maintain good hygiene.
