A. The problem of constipation will decrease with proper diet modification that is plenty of water and fibre diet and try to give more papaya oats and fennel seeds water to the child. You may have to give a course of constipation medicine to the child to stabilize the child from the pain. Constipation usually decreases with increasing age of the child and medicines give only symptomatic relief. . have to increase the dose of constipation medicine

A. If you keep giving it regularly the body is going to get used to it so try home remedies where you can apply castor oil or drop or two in and around the naval give prune juice in the night before sleeping and lastly try and include good amount of fibres and liquid into the diet of the child which is really very very important
