摘要
Physician assistants (PAs) frequently manage children with constipation. A thorough history and physical examination usually is sufficient to diagnose functional constipation. Treatment consists of family education, disimpaction (via rectal or oral routes), and maintenance therapy. Osmotic laxatives such as polyethylene glycol are commonly used for disimpaction and maintenance therapy.
