Chronic constipation needs to be evaluated. Needs to make sure she is not suffering from underactive thyroid. Needs to encourage to drink lots of fluids and more of fruits and vegetables. Now a days better laxatives are available in the form of Magrosols. Stop Duphalac & try with Mu-out sachet 1-2 sachet @ night for 1 week and consult a pediatric gastroenterologist.
