HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is child of 20 months, if no stool being passed then it is nothing to worry, and it may not be constipation, enema needs to be avoided as long as it is possible again I would say that it is not the constipation better not to treat this and let the child grow little old hope this information helps.
