Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Teething has nothing to do with constipation.
Sometimes teething may cause diarrhea because the child starts biting everything.
Constipation is a separate problem to be attended to immediately
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
