Description

Constipation is a common concern in children and can cause discomfort, abdominal pain, poor appetite, and irritability. Dr. Ankita Khairkar provides comprehensive and child-friendly constipation management focused on identifying the root cause and ensuring gentle, effective relief. The treatment begins with a detailed evaluation of the child’s diet, bowel habits, fluid intake, activity level, and emotional factors such as toilet fear or stress. Growth assessment and medical history help rule out underlying conditions. Based on the diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan is created. Management includes age-appropriate dietary modifications rich in fiber, adequate hydration guidance, toilet training counseling, and lifestyle changes to promote regular bowel movements. When required, safe and evidence-based medications or stool softeners are prescribed in correct pediatric doses. Parents are educated on prevention strategies and long-term bowel health. With a compassionate approach and continuous follow-up, Dr. Ankita Khairkar ensures lasting relief from constipation and supports healthy digestion and overall child well-being.
