Constipation in kids (fecal loading)
Hi Dr..My 5 years old girl was experiencing loose motion/constipation on off from last 5-4 months..Have checked with pediatric gastro and came to know that she has constipation ( fecal loading) in xray and suggested dulcolax suppository and movicol for 30 days.The night she had suppository she passed small hard formed stool with lots of pain.Next days she started pediatric movicol in 100 ml one sachet.. yesterday she passed small pebble like stool and today she passed small soft stool but problem is she is not telling to poop ..I have to make her sit 2-3 times after meals.She always told us before about pooping.Is something a problem..She is active and asks for food as well.She is telling us when she needs to pee but not for bowel movement..It's second only.Dr prescribed her with 30 days movicol.Her height is also increased only 1 cm in 5 months..Is her current gut issue the problem for that increase?
Suffering from diarrhea
My daughter is 1 year old with weight of 6.8kg. For past 2 days she is passing out greenish colored and liquidy stools. She is also refusing to eat anything that we offer. We are giving her ORS water frequently and trying to offer her plain rice but she is rejecting rice however she drinks ORS water and also sometimes feeding on mother's milk. She is crying a lot but still active. What is it that I should be doing. Are there any prescriptive medicines which will help ease my daughter's condition. We went to a paediatrician and he prescribed her antibiotics and a probiotic directly saying it is a bacterial infection. I am skeptical of his approach and am reluctant to start her on antibiotics directly. What is standard protocol in such cases. Should the doctor have prescribed zinc initially to her heal her guy lining and the next steps should be antibiotics.
