Q.

Hi, my baby girl of 23 months is holding back poop and constipated, resulting in large and painful stools, we have followed the dietary advise but is there any medicine or laxative which can be given for the short term?

A. The problem of constipation will decrease with proper diet modification that is plenty of water and fibre diet and try to give more papaya oats and fennel rseeds water to the child. You may have to give a course of constipation medicine to the child to stabilize the child from the pain. Constipation usually decreases with increasing age of the child and medicinesr give only symptomatic relief.
