Child Has Mild Fever, Constipation, Seems To Be In Extreme Pain. No Change With Suppository. Help?
Am Maria, my daugter is 1year 7months and she has not been pooping for a week now and she has mild fever . she is always crying and i can see that she is in pain. Yesterday i went to the doctor and he said she is constipated and he gave us a pill to put in her anus at night and medicine to drgive her from today, so far i don t see any changes.
Hello priscilla****
thanks for your question
In babies constipation is very common complaint which annoys parents, pediatrics doctor has prescribed her suppository and its of no benefit so far, as per my opinion
- reuse suppository (preferably glycerine)
- if you can get papaya then mesh it and give her to eat
- third option is to give Domperidone (domstal) drops as these will increase the motility of intestines after stool has been softened by glycerine
- try to reassure the child as she is in pain and is not able to focus on straining so the condition is getting worsened. give warm support she will pass.
- if not possible with all these methods then the reason might be fecolith or hard stool in rectum, which can be removed easily by expert pediatrician by manually or by enema.
thanks
all the best
