Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. You need to give plenty of water and fibre diet to the child and your child appears to be suffering from constipation.
In addition try to give papaya banana oats fennel seeds water kishmish vegetables and fruits specially with covers.
If your doctor has prescribed constipation medicine then kindly continue them
Many times you have to complete course of constipation medicine.
Decrease the milk intake to around 200 ml to 300 ml per day only.
The problem of constipation decreases with increasing age of the child and the medicines give only symptomatic relief.
This can occur due to either allergy or infection and some times due to weather changes and temperature variations around the child.
For cold you can give drops maxtra / wikoryl AF 0.5 ml to the child 2-3 times per day.
try to prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops every three hourly for nasal blockage and simple cough and cold. Indirect steam will also help.
Go for home remedies like Tulsi Gingerd diluted with water combination and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day.(honey can be added after 1 year age)
Give warm water to drink
If no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor
For fever and pain give paracetamol. d
