Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi, my son is 4 years old .he is suffering from acute constipstion, doctor has prescribed milk of magnesia but he is not recovering from past 10 days. when I give him enterogermina he passes stool with difficulty. is enterogermina is useful in constipation also. can I give him regularly. what do u think about his problem? please give me the answer
I understand your concern but don't worry. Most likely reasons for constipation in this age group are poor hydration and lack of adequate fibres in diet. Probiotics such as enterogermina helps in replenishing the healthy flora of the gut. But has no direct role in treatment of constipation.
So, I would recommend you the following: 1. Ensure adequate fibre rich balanced diet 2. Give him plenty of fluids to keep him well hydrated 3. Continue enterogermina twice daily 4. In case the constipation persists, you may give him lactulose syrup or milk of magnesia as and when required.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
