Hi doctor,
My daughter is going to be 3 years old. She is not passing stool on daily basis. She passes stool with a gap of three to four days. She has difficulty in passing stools with this time gap. Sometimes, she gets rashes and slight blood stains in her potty. We are giving lots of water to drink. She has a normal appetite. She is very active. She started to have this issue before two months. We are giving Ayurveda medicine but it is not working better. Before getting this problem, she always pass stool every day without any issue. Kindly advise. What can be done to make her potty lose?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand the concern of your child regarding constipation. Try to include high fiber in her diet. Avoid giving milk at night. You can start giving Lactulose syrup 5 ml 12 hourly. It helps a lot. Please mention the weight of your child. Please mention whether she has any abdominal distension and passing urine normally. Please mention whether she has a fever.
