Because the opening end of the enema is hard and rough, its use in the treatment of constipation in children often causes redness, swelling and pain in the perianal mucosa, and even damages the rectal mucosa, causing pain to the child and making it difficult for the child to cooperate. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the method when using it on children.

Using a 20ml syringe and a disposable scalp needle instead of a suppository to relieve constipation in children is more effective and easy to operate. Children feel comfortable and are easy to cooperate.

The method is: draw all the enema liquid into a 20ml syringe (discard the needle part), then connect a disposable scalp needle (cut off the front end of the scalp needle with the needle part, leaving 2~5cm for spare), apply paraffin oil and insert it for use.
