Hi
i appreciate your concern
it's not the treatment that can be given to children for long period
please try to modify her dietary habits like
more friuts and dietary fiber in diet
avoid junk fried and fatty foods
plenty of oral fluids
If it's a case of impacted stool I would advise for colonoscopy.
Feel free to ask for follow up
thanks for using health care magic
good luck
