Home remedies for constipation in children/WILLIAM WANYOIKE

Just like adults, children can also suffer from constipation due to a number of factors.

Increasing a child's intake of fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help relieve constipation naturally.

Ensuring the child drinks enough water throughout the day also softens stool and promotes easier bowel movements.

Regular physical activity is important because movement stimulates digestion and helps the intestines work more efficiently.

In addition, establishing a consistent toilet routine, especially after meals, encourages good bowel habits.
