A. I suffer the same problem for my 2 plus year old daughter. Doctor has advised medication and a fibre rich diet. I too toilet train her yet she finds it difficult to pass stool sometimes. milk however has been omitted from her diet. I feel this problem should subside with age and a consistent fibre diet. Also when the child adopts potty training, they are able to rid their system off on their own gradually and constipation can be treated well permanently. you cab meanwhile continue the laxatives with doctor's consultation.

A. if your child is 2 years old suffering from chronic constipation you should do modification in the diet along with that all it training is also very important and counselling is also very important

A. You Can you try going for a homoeopathic treatment and also try to give really good fibre rich diet and water to the child because these things also helps quite a lot in dealing with chronic constipation issues but only feeding medications are definitely going to be a lot helpful in this case
