General & Family Physician 's  Response
Welcome to HCM. I can understand ur concerns. May be his intestinal motility is slow that causes constipation. In such cases water from stools is absorbed too much in intestines and cause dry stools. Use Karo syrup 1teaspoon 3times a day uptil the issue is resolved.
Syrup Lactulose 2 teaspoon at night daily for 7days.
Hope it helps. Give a feedback review at my profile. Click helpful for this Answer. Happy to see you at Healthcare Magic.
