Baby straining to poop

2022-05-03 15:08:56
Hello doctor, My baby 20 month old baby boy. Daily cries while pooping. He is getting scared to push out. Instead of sitting he runs either due to pain or fear. He searches for milk or wants to sleep while he feels like pooping. He feeds as much as water and he is active too. Kindly suggest remedies. He has some bulges in anus.

History is suggestive of functional constipation which is common at this age and requires behavioral treatment along with medications. But if he has some buldges/swelling around anus, then a local examination is required in clinic.
