Dr. Sonali Child Care & Gastro Clinic

A child isn’t a small adult and should never be treated as one. Children’s bodies undergo continuous growth and their medical needs are quite unique. Not just that, they are different from adults in the way they express their concerns as well. They will be unable to properly answer medical questions and are likely to be uncooperative and anxious. At Anand Care Clinic, we understand that and make sure your child gets the best care.

Constipation in Children

Constipation is more than a common problem among children. The symptoms of the condition are quite well known. A child might be suffering from constipation if he or she has problems with defecation for a continuous period of time. The problem may be infrequent defecation, hard and large stools and are painful and/or difficult to consistently pass. Constipation issues frequently occur during weaning for infants, at school age or while potty training toddlers. Some major factors contributing to constipation include past medical history, psychological disorders, food allergies and anatomical anomalies.

Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis is basically an infection to the guts or the intestines, causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and vomiting. The infection usually clears up within a few days under normal conditions. If it doesn’t, you need to consult a doctor immediately since vomiting and diarrhoea can cause your child’s body to be dehydrated. The infection may be caused by different types of bacteria, microbes and viruses.
