About Eva Q and Constipation
A doctor told us to take Eva Q for my 6 month old baby for hard stool. We have taken it for around 3 months, now another doctor told us that this is not good for children under 1 year and treat constipation through diet and water. I also check the content and its sugar, we are not giving her sugar as in food.
I have two questions
Does this medicine harm my child ?
Does the sugar in it act the same as processed sugar ?
