Seems like a chronic case of constipation in this case I’m only going to recommend it to consult your doctor they’ll help you with proper treatment and relieve constipation from your own side mid in the body start the day with a glass of warm water followed by papaya and before sleeping give prune juice and put a drop or two of castor oil in the navel of your child
