What should I do if my child has been constipated for more than a year?
Children who have been constipated for more than a year often do not poop for a week, which may be caused by improper diet, intestinal flora imbalance and other reasons. Parents are advised to bring their children to the doctor for treatment in a timely manner.
1. Reasons
1. Improper diet: If the child usually consumes too little dietary fiber or does not drink enough water, it will cause the gastrointestinal peristalsis to slow down, resulting in the above symptoms. It is recommended that parents pay attention to adjusting their children's diet, appropriately increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, and ensure that they drink enough water every day.
2. Intestinal flora disorder: due to long-term use of antibiotics or the influence of stress factors, the beneficial bacteria in the intestine decrease and the harmful bacteria increase, causing diarrhea, bloating and other symptoms. Under the guidance of a doctor, drugs such as Bifidobacterium triple viable bacteria powder can be used to regulate the intestinal microecological balance.
2. Treatment
If it is caused by an improper diet, the symptoms can be relieved by changing dietary habits. At the same time, you can also follow the doctor's instructions to take oral lactulose oral solution, Bacillus subtilis double viable bacteria granules and other drugs to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and improve the symptoms of constipation. If it is caused by intestinal dysbiosis, you can follow the doctor's instructions to use topical kessel to help defecation, or you can take probiotic preparations such as Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablets, Bacillus licheniformis live capsules and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor for conditioning.
In addition, it may also be caused by functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, etc., and similar symptoms may occur. Therefore, when the child is constipated for a long time, he should go to the hospital in time and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
