“Can medications help with child's hemorrhoids?”
My daughter has hemorrhoids. Can medications help with a child's hemorrhoids?
1 Answer
Warm soaks in the bath tub and otc hydrocortisone cream are recommended for hemorrhoids. The main treatment is treatment of constipation and excess straining by modifying your child's diet. If a child is constipated severely limit dairy products and white foods and offering high fiber foods including whole grains, green vegetables and fresh fruits and juices. If a child is fearful of painful stools and is holding back stools, please consult your pediatrician fro recommendation of stool softeners and laxatives.
