Constipation in Children Directory

When in comes to child constipation the rule of thumb is not how often your child has a bowel movement, but whether the stool is easy or difficult to pass. Not every child will have a bowel movement every day, but stool should not be hard or painful. Common causes of constipation include dietary changes, routine changes, medications, not drinking enough fluids, and more. Treating constipation may only require drinking more fluids, drinking juices, or following a special diet, but if problems persist, you should see your child's doctor.
