Question

Constipation

Asked for Male, 2 Years

Hello doctor, My son is 2 years old and is badly constipated. He poops once in a week and cries a lot while pooping. He passes hard stools and this time I saw a little blood in his stool too. He eats well; fruits, oats, yoghurt almost everything. How should I help him and what needs to be done. Is there any stool softener for kids too ?

Constipation unusually diet related.. Pl increase fluid content in the diet.. For example if your child is 10kg he should have at least 2-3litres of liquid in a day... Secondly fruits like papaya can be added to increase roughage from diet. Add greens Avoid maida and bakery products... Decrease milk in diet. For stool softener add Muout powder 1tsf in 1glass of water for 2 weeks.
