Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Since your daughter is just 4.5 years old and weighs 13 kg all the medications should be given as prescribed by the pediatrician after clinical evaluation and examination.
It is also advisable to go for the tests of stool and blood along with ultrasonography of the whole abdomen. This will further help to know the proper diagnosis and helps in managing such problems.
Do not treat kids at home as delayed diagnosis can cause complications in future which can be troublesome for the baby and costly too.
