Mam i would say of ur child is holding poops it indicates some fear in passing.it may b due to anal cuts bcz of passing hard stools.so get ur child examined.if so apply smuth ointment or make ur chils sit on luke warm water.
If constipation avoid junk foods give lot of fluids ,fibre rich diet and use medication only of doctor consultation.
