For effective use of glycerin suppositories in children, follow these steps:
1. Wash your hands thoroughly. 2. Remove the suppository from its wrapper. 3. Lubricate the suppository tip with a small amount of water or a water-based lubricant. 4. Lay the child on their side with knees pulled up to their chest. 5. Gently insert the suppository into the rectum, pointed end first. 6. Hold the buttocks together for a few minutes to prevent the suppository from slipping out. 7. Encourage the child to stay still for about 15-20 minutes to allow the suppository to dissolve fully.
