My 2 year old daughter is having difficulty in passing motion. She struggles and cries for 5-6 days and then passes hard stools with difficulty. Our pediatrician had prescribed Lactulose syrup to be given every night. I have been giving it since last 1 month, still the problem is not solved.
Kindly suggest medication please. We have done deworming to her before 2 months.
