Constipation in children

 Constipation and children’s management 

Let's introduce first with constipation.

It is actually a symbol of disbalance of function and there's no remedy that's common to all or any sorts of constipation and therefore no laxative will do quite produce spasmodic action of the bowel, In children one among the foremost common causes of constipation is that the suppression of habit by the neglect to answer the natural urge if it comes within the course of some game or other that they are doing not wish to breakup.

MAIN SYMPTOMS AND THERE REMEDIES

The continuation of this practice soon produces quite obstinate constipation, in order that parents should insist that their offspring obey any call to stool once they feel the urge. Another thing that always results in constipation in sensitive children is that the use of Aluminium cooking utensils and that I have often been ready to clear the condition by suggesing that enamel or other ware is employed for cooking. I had such a case a touch while ago. The mother came to me about her elder son and therefore the course of our conversation she mentioned that her young seven month old daughter had become badly constipated which despite the utilization of all the milder laxatives during the past month, there was no improvement what so ever.

On questioning her I found that the difficulty had started at the time she decided to her, and that I asked what she wont to prepare the baby's food.

"Why, an aluminium saucepan of course."

She replied. I suggested and she or he bought a cheap enamel pan on her way home and telephoned me during a forthnight to report on the babe's condition.  Within ten days the bowel was starting to function normally and there has been no trouble the kid since. Naturally, if this metal can produce constipation then it can cure it, and in those cases where there's lack of any urge, possibly for days on end, and here even great straining fails to pass a stool

ALUMINA 

Alumina should be considered. The stools when passed are hard, dry and knotty; and therefore the rectum is usually sore, dry and inflamed and even bleeding. In older children, they're going to often say that it hurts their rectum to cough or sneeze. One satche or tablet of the 30 potency should tend nightly for 2 or three nights as required. If your child is nervous, irritable and badtempred, and has already been dosed with the standard laxatives, then you ought to consider medicine.
Children needing this remedy are usually quick eaters who start to lose their appetite for breakfast, and complain that they keep wanting to go but can't. Even once they do manage to pass something. They still feel there is a iot more to return but i can not. This is the time to use the medicine give one tablet during the evening. Repeated next day if needed, but rarely does one need more than one or two doses to place things right. 

BRYONIA ALBA 

Bryonia is another remedy that's only used when the patient is irritable. but this time rather than the neny quick reaction of the patient  who need Nux vomica. the kid who needs Bryonia alba is typically rather loathe to maneuver around.

The tongue is white coated and dry. except for the tip, and there's a marked thirst. The stools are hard, large and dry, with a dark colour that appears as if they were burnt. There's no urging and great strain is required to pass anything. Very often there's indigestion and a headache that's "orse for any movement.

With these symptoms Bryonia should be given one tablet four to 6 hourly.

PULSATILLA NIGRA 

Rich food that goes with the season, there's sure to be some involve Pulsatilia. Remember its saluc in conditions that result from eating rich fat foods or fruit in excess. The patient who needs Pulsatilla. whether it's for constipation or diarrhoea or simply plain tummy ache", will usually be weepy and fretful. uanting to be petted and fussed over".

A little fuss seems to assist these children more than anyhing else. Their mood will change very quickly and laughter and tears follow very rapidly. they're not thirsty and once they do drink it's usually something cold. since they're not a fan of heat. They wil move away from the heat and fire, or kick off their bed clothes. Give them Pulsatilla 30 one tablet after every four hours. soon balance out these changeable children and their aches and pains will disappear as quickly as they came.
