Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. yes there is a possibility that iron supplements can cause constipation.
whenever you introduce food for the child and it is causing constipation you have to stop that particular food which is causing such problems and try to give food which is more rich in fibre and has got plenty of fluids.
it is important to add papaya in the diet which will help in decreasing this problem
and also at the same time see that you are not giving any new outside milk which is again known to cause constipation
Medicine is to be given only if instructed by the doctor after examination.
give plenty of water to drink.
if needed the doctor will give polyethylene glycol which is the first line of medicine for constipation

NikithaMom of a 10 yr 9 m old boy1 Year agoA. hello yes some medicine can cause constipation but not all and it would depend so if you have any concern and if you are started giving it newly then it would be better to chuck with your doctor and she will be able to guide you accordingly
