A. many times even after giving good fibre diet the child may not improve and may require extra fibres from outside and that is constipation medicine so kindly meet your doctor regarding this and you can always increase the dosage according to the need of the child

A. Please avoid giving laxative as the baby will get used to instead give a fibre rich diet to the baby. give some warm water after meals give a teaspoon of honey in some warm water in the morning include ghee beetroot papaya raisins figs prunes in the baby's diet. give soaked raisins in the morning
