A. For constipation in a 9-year-old, you can try these Indian home remedies: 1. **Triphala Powder**: Mix a small amount of Triphala powder with warm water and have your child drink it before bedtime. Triphala is known for its digestive benefits. 2. **Ajwain (Carom Seeds) Water**: Boil a teaspoon of ajwain seeds in a cup of water. Cool it down and give a small amount to your child. It can help relieve constipation. 3. **Fiber-Rich Foods**: Include more fiber in their diet. Foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can aid digestion. 4. **Castor Oil**: A small amount of castor oil (1-2 teaspoons) mixed with milk can act as a mild laxative. However, consult with a healthcare professional before using this. 5. **Hydration**: Ensure your child is well-hydrated. Drinking enough water is crucial for maintaining regular bowel movements. Always consult with a healthcare professional before trying any remedies, especially for children. If constipation persists, seeking medical advice is important.
