Question
For the past few days, my child has reached two and a half years old, but he hasn’t had a bowel movement. What should I do?
Answer
Your child may be constipated due to indigestion. It’s recommended not to feed your child too many greasy foods and try giving him some digestive aids, such as Baohe pills, or cooking and serving roasted pumpkin seeds after removing their shells. This might help alleviate your child’s constipation. If the situation does not improve, it’s advisable to take your child to see a doctor for a professional diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet for your child and increasing fiber intake can also help prevent and improve constipation.
