How To Treat Constipation In A 4 Yo In Whom Slimy Poop Comes Out On Farting?
My 4 year old son has been having issues for about a week or so with pooping. He keeps feeling like he has to go but when he does it's not really anything except some foam or alittle slimy poop. He also has accidents in his underwear cause it come out when he farts. He says nothing hurts but I'm very concerned.

Hi,
I have gone through the query of your son and understood your concerns.
There is nothing to be worried too much. I'd suggest to do examination of feces for ova/parasites and culture of stool for candida overgrowth to exclude intestinal infections.
I also advise to:
- let him drink plenty of water and juice
- give him otc probiotics to stabilize his intestinal flora
- ask him to eat foods high in fiber
