Constipation
Hello..
My 2 year old son having a problem of constipation. From last 3 month.
I consult doctor and they give him laxoluz syrup. So that he will get soft stool...
But this medicine is work 50/50.
He still get hard stool.
And my son do a potty in a interval of 4 days.
And sometimes it takes 5 day... So I use glycerine suppository then only stool comes out...
He drink 300 ml of milk everyday.
What should I do now..
Is it anything serious here?
