Hi
Thank you for your query,
As your child was having constipation there may be chance of development of fissure due to hard stools.
Even with semi thick stool the fissure causes pain which may be the reason in your child.
At the same time hypothyroidim should be ruled out .
Dietary fiber rich foods can be offered to the child.

Hi,
Thanks for your query
constipation is commonly seen in hypothyroidism ,which needs to be rule out.
dietary modification is very important,i advise you to give her plenty of fluids,give vegetable soup,fruit juice.from next month you can add boiled vegetable and fruit pulp as well .
Chronic constipation can lead to fissure formation due to which child become hesitant to pass stools ans a vicious cycle starts,
