hi sir my daughter has constipation problem since birth and she used to "Mom plus" syrup. if she misses stool for one day then stool becomes very hard. I want to discontinue the medicine.

A. Constipation is usually a very common problem seen in many cases where the most important causative factor is decrease intake of high fibre diet along with lesser fluid intake. some food like junk foodfs mostly containing maida and oily food can aggravate such condition. diet modification should be tried first followed by medications like lactulose milk of magnesia and PEG .
