Constipation in 5 years old
Hello
My son is 5 years old , last Monday he was having stomach pain and constipation, we visited doctor and doctor prescribed deuphelac 15 ml for 2 weeks. My son is taking it regularly but even after taking this medicine, he has to put effort in passing the motion, there is no pain in his stomach since Monday but I am worried that he has to put effort even after taking medicine, is this normal ? I am giving fibre rich diet only. Please help.
Thank you
