Q. My kid has constipation issues from the last three months. What might help her?
Hello doctor,
My kid is 1 year old. Since the last three to four months, she has constipation issues. Her doctor prescribed her a medicine which worked for a while. But, now she again has it.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Transient constipation in a 1 year old child improves with diet modification. Most of the medications used to treat constipation treat the acute phase and are for symptomatic relief.
- You should include more roughage in her diet like fruits and vegetables.
- Avoid giving marketed products like biscuits, chips, and chocolates. These are known to cause constipation.
- Increase water intake.
If there is any other query, do let me know.
