My son refuses to eat anything. He doesn’t chew his food. He is 3 years old and since he spits out whatever he eats he is constipated most of the time. I discussed this with his paediatrician and she said he is just being lazy. I really do not know how to get him eat. I have literally tried everything. Due to constipation he even refuses to use the bathroom. I am at my wits end. Please help
