When a baby's formula gets overheated or wears too much clothing, it is easy to get overheated, and the most common symptom of overheating is dryness and constipation. Dry stool in children can cause constipation, and excessive force during defecation can also lead to anal bleeding. Over time, this may trigger hemorrhoids. So, what should be done for dry constipation in children?
1. Dietary regulation
Diet should be light, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and eat less high protein foods such as meat. Eat less high cholesterol foods, such as animal organs. You should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as these foods are rich in crude fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, increase secretion of intestinal fluid, and improve symptoms of dry stool. You should also eat some high-fat foods that can lubricate the intestines and promote bowel movements, such as peanuts, sesame seeds, pine nuts, etc., which can alleviate the symptoms of dry stool.
2. Regular bowel movements
Regardless of whether there is a urge to defecate or not, regular bowel movements should be carried out because the longer the stool stays in the body, the less water it contains. Over time, the stool will become dry and difficult to excrete. Therefore, it is important to develop the good habit of defecating on time to reduce the amount of time stool stays in the body. In addition, it is important to drink plenty of water, especially after waking up. Drinking a cup of warm boiled water can promote intestinal peristalsis, alleviate symptoms of dry stool, and promote bowel movements.
In addition, increasing physical activity or regularly massaging the abdomen in children's daily lives can improve constipation symptoms, and the effect is also quite good. Parents and friends may want their children to try the methods introduced above. As long as they can persist for a long time, they can effectively improve the symptoms of dry stool. Additionally, by properly regulating one's diet, dry conditions can be alleviated.
