Severe Constipation For 3year Old Girl, What Should We Do ?

My little sister is nearly 3 years of age and has suffered from constipation for a while now and it s got to the point where she s screaming for help in complete agony. I ve never seen her in so much pain. We have tried laxatives but nothing seems to be working. I read up online about stool compaction and I was wondering whether or not she has it. Unfortunately the out of hours doctor has only sent out a prescription for my mum to pick up from the pharmacy now. He said that this wouldn t help her pass the stools tonight. I m really worried on my sisters behalf. She hardly eats enough fibre but we have tried everything to get her to eat but she won t. I think that she worries about the food she eats because of her constipation. It s so severe I m worried there is an underlined problem. Please help me. Thanks.

You can give duphalac solution under guidance of your pediatrician.
Local laxative Suppocitory will be helpful.
Otherwise give her more liquids like fruit juices,vegetable soups,Rice water,dal water...
