Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Dry Lips In A Child
My 2 year old was fine at 9 am this morning at 1 pm I gave him a peanut butter sandwich he munched on it till 4 or 5 pm. He did not nap his stomach is rock hard. I am thinking he may be constipated. He also had 2 cups of juice in that time frame he has not urinated either and his lips are dry. Should I go to the ER

dear parents your concern is understandable. you have mentioned regarding urination but not defecation. has he passed normal motion since morning?
if yes he is not constipated.
if he is comfortable and playing then need not worry.
if his stomach is rock hard as you are saying, and he is in pain, then better consult a doctor in person because the child will need to be examined.
