Constipation always requires lot of patience from both parents and physicians end. Gibe at least 7 glasses of fluid( water , fruit juice, milk curds butter milk) and also continue Muout for long duration may be even 2-3 months. Its important to change diet habit during this period, else moment u stop the medicine, child will have constipation. Do send across your daily food intake chart if baby, I can help you with rescheduling it.
