Give PEG 1 scoop dilute in half glass water every day for minimum 3 months. If the child eases the problem with one day use then also you should give it atleast alternate days up to 3 months. This gives the child a habit to go to toilet every day.  PEG can be given as a long term treatment upto 1 yr.

Dear Practo User. Thanks for sending across your query. Chronic constipation in children often needs long-term management. PEG 3350 is safe, but dietary changes, fluids, and behavior training are key. A pediatric gastro consult and abdominal X-ray may help.
