All medicines usually prescribed for constipation have only temporary relief.
You have to address the basic cause,which is lack of fiber in the diet.
Add items such as cornflakes,Dalia,salad and green leafy vegetables and fruits like pears,apples,oranges and mangoes in the diet.
Give just 2 milk feeds using a glass and 4 solid meals,including the above.
