Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children5 years agoA. constipation is commonly seen in children 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 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 required yyou should take it under medical guidance only.lactulose or polyethylene glycol is of good help, sorbiolene is also an option but you should give any medicine or suppository only when prescribed by your pediatrician.. medication is the secondary option.

Ankita MehtaMom of a 11 yr old girl5 years agoA. hi mam,it happens because of inadequate intake of fluids and low fiber diet and it might also happen because of food reaction. so please keep your child well hydrated. offer fiber rich food like spinach soup, tomatoes soup, prune juice, fruit like pear papaya plum banana etc to your child. skip bakery food items. keep an eye on your child diet and remove the food which causes it. give massage to your child daily which also help to make digestion easy. encourage your child to do more physical activities.
