Hi
Thanks for the query.

The problem you are mentioning is related to bowel. Children if have any problem with the bowel like constipation, it causes pain which makes children to cry and seek the parent's attention. however if you are worried about you daughter that she hadn't passed stools for last 03 days which shows she is constipated therefore it is is recommended to use gastric motility enhancer like domeperidone initially and if showed no improved then laxative is an other option. If she still doesn't pass stool, seek medical assistance from nearest hospital

If you still have some queries, feel free to contact

Thanks
Regards
