Which treatment is NOT recommended for constipation in children?

Miralax 0.2-0.8 g/kg/day
Prunes
Glycerin suppositories
Inhaled ribavirin

The correct answer is: Inhaled ribavirin

Inhaled ribavirin is not recommended for constipation in children because it is a medication primarily used to treat respiratory infections, not gastrointestinal issues such as constipation. The other options listed, Miralax, prunes, and glycerin suppositories, are all commonly used and effective treatments for constipation in children. Miralax is an osmotic laxative that pulls water into the colon to soften stools, prunes contain natural fibers that promote bowel movements, and glycerin suppositories help to stimulate the rectal muscles to pass stools.
