Constipation in Children Doctors in Malta

Constipation in children is characterised by infrequent, hard, or painful bowel movements and is often related to diet, fluid intake, or behavioural factors such as toilet training resistance. A paediatrician can assess the underlying cause and recommend dietary changes, increased fluid intake, laxatives, or behavioural strategies to establish healthy bowel habits. Persistent or severe constipation may require investigation to rule out underlying bowel conditions.
