Whereas, the antifoaming medicine disintegrates gas bubbles and allows easy passage of gas.

• Avoid giving gas-producing foods to your child such as beans, onions, carrots, raisins, and bananas.
• Encourage your child to exercise daily as it has potential benefits in constipation and in improving overall wellbeing.
