✅ FIRST-LINE HOME + MEDICAL-SAFE MEDICINE OPTIONS
1️⃣ Oral stool-softener (Very safe for kids)
➡️ PEG 3350 (Polyethylene Glycol) — Lactulose alternative if available
If available in your area (often sold as “PEG 3350 powder”):
Dose for 2-year-old:
🔹 0.5–1 g per kg per day
So if child is ~12–14 kg → 6–14 g per day
Mix in water, juice, or milk.
2️⃣ Lactulose Syrup
If PEG is not available, Lactulose is very safe.
Dose for 2-year-old:
➡️ 5 mL twice daily
You may increase up to 10 mL twice daily if the stool does not pass in 24–48 hours.
Effects start within 12–24 hours.
3️⃣ Duphalac / Livoluk (Lactulose brand names)
Same dose as above:
➡️ 5 mL morning + 5 mL night
4️⃣ Glycerin Suppository (FAST relief)
If there is severe constipation with no stool for many days, you can use:
Dose:
➡️ 1 infant glycerin suppository per rectum (once a day if needed)
It usually works in 15–30 minutes.
🍼 Supportive Diet Measures
Continue medicines but also add:
✔ Warm water frequently
✔ Soaked raisins water
✔ Papaya, banana
✔ Oats / porridge
✔ Avoid milk-heavy diet
🚨 If NO stool even after Suppository + Lactulose/PEG in 24 hours → go to PEDIATRICIAN immediately.

Hello, I am Dr Romain Rajan, General Physician. Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern. Eight days without passing stool in a two year old child is significant and needs prompt attention. In children this usually happens due to dehydration, low fibre intake or hard stool getting stuck in the lower intestine.
Advices
1 Give warm water frequently in small sips to soften the stool naturally.
2 Add mashed banana or a little ghee mixed in warm milk which helps easy passage of stool.
3 Keep the child active with light movement and gentle tummy massage in a clockwise direction.
What to Monitor
1 Pain while passing stool.
2 Vomiting or refusal to eat.
3 Abdominal swelling or extreme irritability.
Management
You may give a commonly used paediatric stool softener like lactulose syrup. A safe starting dose is usually around five ml twice a day after food for a two year old, but the exact dose depends on the childâs weight and severity.
Avoid giving any strong laxatives without guidance as they can cause cramps. If constipation is recurrent, we may need to check diet pattern and hydration in more detail to prevent future episodes.
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
1 If the child starts vomiting.
2 If the stomach becomes hard or swollen.
3 If there is blood in stool or if she still does not pass stool within twenty four hours after starting treatment.
Every childâs situation is unique. For accurate diagnosis and lasting relief, it is important to discuss her symptoms, feeding pattern and medical history in detail.
You can reach out to me directly for this case and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation. I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one on one consultation where you will receive
1 A personalised treatment plan
2 Safe medicine adjustments if required
3 Quick follow ups to track her recovery
Take care, wishing your daughter good health.

I can suggest medicine here but that's not a good idea. I work in paediatric surgery and it's MOST IMPORTANT to rule out sub acute intestinal obstruction first. Get an xray abdomen erect done ASAP and consult with report.
