Irregular bowel movement

2017-06-21 07:56:56
My 3.5 years old daughter has an irregular bowel movement with a recent problem of mucus in stool. Earlier she did not poop regularly. We used laxative when she had not pooped for two to three days consecutively. Recently she has a problem of mucus in her stool also and before bowel movement she always utters that she has cramps round her navel.
