Can An Intestinal Problem Cause Painful Urination And Constipation In A Toddler?
My grandson who is 3 years old is having trouble having a bowel movement and also complains about pain when he has to urinate. We took him to the ER and the dr.said he was just constipated. She prescribed Miralax to betaken for 10 days. He has taken 2 doses and has had an enama and a laxative in the last 5 days but still has pain and hard stools.Could this be an intestinal problem?

Hi,
In my opinion, it is more likely urinary tract infection associated with constipation. You should continue the Laxative before bed at night time.
According to the protocol, should go for a urine r/m and urine culture and sensitivity test and the child should be started on antibiotics after giving urine samples.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
