Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.

I understand your concern. However paraffin containing laxatives such as Cremaffin is generally not recommended in children under age of 3 years.

It looks like her constipation is more likely due to infection per se, dehydration and perhaps reduced intake. So if she is not troubled, I would suggest you to continue her current antibiotics. Give her extra fluids and lots of fruits and vegetables. If she remains constipated even after recovery from this infection, we can consider supplementing alternate treatment.

Hope this answers your query.

Regards
