Constipation in Children
Your child may be constipated because he is dehydrated (suffering from a loss of fluids), or because he has been sweating or vomiting. Constipation also can happen after a child has diarrhea. Give your child lots of liquids to drink. If this does not cause him to have a bowel movement within the next 12 to 24 hours, call your pediatrician.
