Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children4 years agoA. Constipation is a common problem seen in children and most important is diet modification so firstly it should be taken care of. give good fibre diet with plenty of liquids and avoid food which can aggravate constipation like Banana, excess of milk and maida containing food.
medications like lactulose ,PEG or glycerine suppository should be second option
Constipation becomes chronic problem seen in many cases where the most important causative factor is decrease intake of high fibre diet along wcgith lesser fluid intake.
