Hello...need to know the weight of the child...got to know whthr you are giving the correct dose..more over constipation is a chronic issue...so treatment also is a long course...u need to give the syrup daily in the night atleast for 3 months even if the stools are going normal..it has to be tappered and stopped only by the doctor. Secondly along with medicine - fibre vegetables and fruits diet with lot of liquids is very important. Thirdly toilet training - using of Indian toilet with full squatting both morning and night is important too. Only if u adhere strictly to all the 3 things above together, you will get a permanent cure from constipation for your child.
