Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. it is not advisable to give gripe water to the child on the regular basis because at the end it is a type of medicine which will help in decreasing the colic pain and improve digestion but yes it has got side effects so do not give this without medical consultation.
it contains sodium bicarbonate as well as plenty of sugars which has got side effects for such a small child.
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 fintake 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.
