My son is 4 years old. He took milk of magnesia yesterday and hasn t pooped yet. He took some this morning too, and so far, nothing. Gets cramps every now and then. But no poop. The bottle says to call a dr if don t poop after taking. Should I worry?
I think your kid is having habitual constipation. I have certain questions and suggestions for you. Questions: 1. Did your kid pass motion or meconium on day one of life? 2. Since how long is the kid constipated? 3. Does the kid have any bleeding along with hard stools? 4. How much milk does the kid consume per day? 5. Does the kid eat fruits and vegetables (fiber diet) appropriately?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
