#asktheexperts My son is struggling with constipation and cries in pain whenever he tries to pass stool. He doesn’t poop everyday and is scared to even enter the toilet. What should I do?

A. Hello! I guess your child is highly constipated. Try increasing the natural fibre and liquid intake. Keep giving sip of Luke warm water, the entire day. Try applying pure coconut oil like Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil to your child’s anus to reduce the pain snd help passing stools. Persistent discomfort needs medical evaluation, so get in touch with your consulting paediatrician.
