Constipation
Hi my baby is 19 m old with 13.5 kg weight. She generally have dry poop daily and many times cries with constipation which is relieved post defecation. Many times she cries uncontrollable and calms either after painful poop or application of oil in anus.
She eats normally and is playful generally. Any medication or anything we can do to avoid those instances of painful hours for her. Any medication or suggestion are very helpful
She do not like to eat too much fruit
Thanks
