Constipation
Hi sir/Madam,
My son is 3 year old and he has not passed stool from past two days. He is taking enough fluid and passing adequate urine.
He is not showing any discomfort and very active.
He's eating well and no problem there.
Can you please suggest any laxatives for the same.
Will be very Thankful for your help.
His weight is 11 kgs.

If the child is not having any problems and the condition is not recurring, don't worry. Give him plenty of fluids and lots of fruits and vegetables to add fiber to his diet. If this condition continues, consult.
