Child Have Constipation And Abdominal Pain
Hello, I have an 9 year old son with autism; He has been constipated for about 2 weeks now. . We have brought him to the Hospitable a week ago and they administered an enema. .Last week we did all the Home remedies like Laxatives and enemas as our own doctor recommended. He has abdominal pain and continues to bend over. . He tries to sit on the toilet but no luck with pebbles or slight wet stool. Any Help would be great Because we do not know what to do next… Thanks Al
