Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello dear!
i would like to have a detailed history regarding her diet. Does she take fibre diet?How much water does she normally drink during the whole day.
I would recommend a detailed physical examination of the child especially per rectal examination.Start fibre diet like bran bread or chapati made with fliur that has bran.Give her lots of fluids(water,tea etc but no juices or cold drinks). Give her an apple daily WITH skin, and ispaghol husk( 1 teaspoon in luke warm milk) at night.
Hope it will help.
Be blessed :-)
