Suggest Treatment For Constipation During Fever In A Chil
My son is 3 and half years old suffering fever from day before yesterday and his temperature goes 102F and after that when we give him paracetamol then it goes down and again its goes up. He would not like to take anything and he has symptom of little cold but no coughing. He is also facing constipation. Is it wise to give him lactaloose (Avolac).

Hi...by what you quote I feel that your kid is going through s viral infection. During an viral illness and fever like this obviously the appetite will be down. As the food intake is low it leads on to constipation due to lack of dietary fibre.
