Frequently Asked Questions

What are symptoms of constipation in children?

If your child has too few bowel movements (fewer than three per week), it can be a sign of occasional constipation.

Other common symptoms can include dry, hard stools; straining, gas, bloating and belly pain; or feeling like they can’t completely empty their bowels.

What causes occasional constipation in children?

Lifestyle habits play a large role in your child’s gut health. Busyness, travel, diet, lack of movement or emotional issues can make going more difficult.

Take care to help your child stay hydrated, eat fiber-rich foods and exercise daily. If constipation is an ongoing issue, speak with your pediatrician.

Are there different types of laxatives?

There are many kinds of laxatives, and Dulcolax products feature three: stool softeners, saline laxatives, and stimulant laxatives.

Stool softeners work by softening stools to make them easier to pass. Saline laxatives, like Dulcolax Soft Chews Kids, work by drawing water into the intestines to soften stools. Stimulant laxatives speed up stool movement by stimulating bowel muscles.
