A. constipation is common problem in children in which diet modification is important like including high fibres in the diet for which you can give seasonal fruits like papaya, watermelon and seasonal vegetables will also help , can give daliya or oatsmeal also to your child which is rich in fibres and nutrients too.try flavours in water giving excess of milk may also cause constipation, so you should limit its quantity.also avoid banana which may aggravate .lactulose or polyethylene glycol is of good help, sorbilene is also an alternative but you should give any medicine or suppository only when prescribed by your pediatrician.. medication is the secondary option.diet modificat(ilion is the key.plenty of liquids are of great help too.

A. Add Sam ORS into the water that is going to change the flavour of the water and probably hopefully your child is going to like it that’s the only way as of now that you can go ahead with and your child is low on water intake and fibre rich which is why your child is suffering with constipation
