What you need to know about constipation in children?
Constipation is a symptom and not a disease condition! This symptom has serious consequences and led to many clinic visits and consultations with the paediatrician and paediatric gastroenterologist, at times with referrals to the paediatric surgeon when medical therapies fail. Children with constipation usually have poor quality of life, frequent school absenteeism and low self-esteem.
