Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. straining while passing stool as well as urine is normal.
the child is crying due to colic pain (due to gas) and not due to the reason that the child has not passed the stool.
infants may not pass stool for 10 days also and if the consistency of the stool is semi solid to solid it is not constipation. you can consider constipation only if it is hard and dry stools.
you can dgive anticolic medicines and meet your doctor.
burping / upright position for 20 minutes will help in decreasing the gas and future colic pain
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Home treatments for relief from constipation may include: Diet changes: Your child should eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to get extra fiber. Hydration: Give your toddler lots of water. Ask their healthcare provider about giving them fruit juices.
