My kid is 3 years old and he had not pooped for last 4 days. He is feeling pain in the anal area and he is stopping his poop from passing. We have consulted a doctor and are using the following prescribed medicines from 2 days sucral ano ointment, tummy soft tonic. But there is no improvement. Please advise.

Hi lybrate-user, it's constipation and it's requires long term treatment including high fiber diet with plenty of liquid. Give peg liquid orally for hard stool. Continue ointment application locally. Avoid milk and maida products. Consult online if requires.

Give milk of magnesia 4 ml three times daily for 3 days. Plenty of tepid warm water. Watch what you are giving change or stop if you are giving boiled potatoes, boiled apples and boiled rice. These have tendencies to harden stool.

First you need to give him a glycerine enema like neotonic enema. Then start syp loose/duphalac 15 ml at bedtime & continue for atleast 2 months. It's very important to continue the meds for 2 months or more otherwise the symptoms will return. Also, toilet training should be started & child should be given plenty of water & fibre rich diet.
