Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The main treatment of chronic constipation in children is dietary modifications, lots of fluids and abdominal exercises. Magnesium supplements may be helpful. For temporary relief, medicines will help.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
