A. first of all you will have to understand that the problem of constipation is not treated permanently with medicines but it gives only temporary relief Your child is having constipation for which kindly give plenty of water to drink and fibre diet made from cereals pulses vegetables and fruits. Specially give papaya banana oats fennel seeds water it will help in decreasing constipation and even after that the problem continues kindly meet your doctor for constipation medicine. it is important for you to know that the problem of constipation will improve with increasing age of the child. You may increase or decrease the dosage of constipation medicine if needed according to the consistency of the stool

A. Hello dear parent! Give fibre rich foods regularly. Avoid outside foods, sugary and spicy foods. Bananas and apples are good for digestion and reducing constipation. Include them in daily diet. Give your baby a well balanced healthy diet and keep hydrated all through the day. Include seasonal fruits and vegetables, green leafy vegetables, nuts, dry fruits and dairy in the diet. Good luck and take care.
