The article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of functional constipations in children. Recommendations on the diagnosis, comprehensive prophylaxis and treatment of functional constipations in children with the inclusion the laxatives are provided, as well as own observations and experience with the polyethylene glycol 4000 (Macrogol) in the therapy of constipation in children.
