Q. My daughter goes for potty once in three days. Should I worry?
Hi doctor,
My daughter is 22 months old. She passes stools with a gap of three days. Is there anything to worry? Moreover, her stools have become hard. I can feel the pain when she passes stools. Please suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I assume your daughter's age is 22 months. The child is getting less fiber. Water intake may be less. Not to worry, but her food and dietary habits need to change. I suggest:
- Give her more of a homemade diet, like vegetables, and soups more option.
- Water intake should be at least two liters a day.
- Laxative or suppository is too early for her to use. That should be avoided.
- Increase her fruit or juice intake. I am sure these options will surely help her.
