Treatment of constipation in children ?
First of all, it's recommended to see a paediatrician to assess the child's circumstance. For now, it's recommended to increase the fibers in your diet. As the child can not swallow, suppositories such as Glycerin supp. can be prescribed. In some cases enema can be used or even surgical intervention if there is an intestinal obstruction. Furthermore, gentle massage over your child's abdomen may relax the muscles of the intestine and helps to promote bowel activity.

Diagnosis?
Physical examination and medical history to be done by paediatrician. CBC to check for anemia or infection. Stool and urine analysis. Abdominal X-ray can also be done to rule out obstruction of the intestine.
