My son is now 2 years old but he is on laxatives since last 6 months as approved by his pediatrician but I see no improvement in his condition. He got fissures a month back and still has fear of passing stool. He usually hold his stool upto 4-5 days now. I am very much stressed of his condition. Please let me know if you have any suggested pediatrician in Delhi.
He is currently taking 10 drops of Smulyte(3times a day) and Laxopeg 1 pack in 50 ml water
