A. Constipation is usually a very common problem seen in many where the most important causative factor is decrease intake fiber rich diet along with lesser fluid intake. some food like junk food mostly containing maida and oily food can aggravate such condition. here the diet modification should be tried first followed by medications like lactulose milk of magnesia and muout powder.Potty Training can be started after the age of 2 yrs.for this you need to develop a conditioned reflex in the child by fixing a particular time regularly in which the child shouvgld be sitted over the potty seat .do not force the child instead make it a playful activity and not to make the child repulsive about it.slowly th e child will learn to indicate before the time.
