Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years ago

A. it is not advisable to use any medicines without medical consultation because they have got side effects. it is advisable that you should visit your doctor for that. how to take a particular medicine and the dosage will be told by your doctor. so kindly avoid self medication whenever you introduce food for the child and it is causing constipation you have to stop that particular food which is causing constipation and tried to give food which is more rich in fibre and has got plenty of fluids. it is important to add papaya in the diet which will help in decreasing this problem and alsdo at the same time see that you are not giving any new outside milk which is again known to cause constipation
