My 3 year son stool become hard

2017-11-12 03:15:07
My 3 year old son stool become hard due to which he face lot of problem. He call for potty in 2-3 days interval. We used so many laxative like relux and lactose but not worked. We also used cremaffine plus and it worked good but as I came to know that it is not safe for child below 10 years I stopped. Whenever I give cremaffine in night he does potty very smoothly but I am afraid he will habituated for that. Please guide me which medicine is safe for my 3 year old son and how long it can be used

Stool formation depends totally on the diet you give. Add high fiber items such as cornflakes,Dalia,green leafy vegetables,fruits like cheeku,apple,mangoes and oranges. Stool softeners are to be used only in intractable cases.
