Suggest Treatment For Constipation In A Child

I am blessed with twins, they are 3.5 months old, both are having problem in paasing stool. They pass stool once in 2-3 days only when the medicine is given to them and whenever they pass stool, they cry a lot and feel a lot of pain in stomach. Please tell me what to do to avoid constipation ?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi I'm Dr Suresh K Yadav MD(paediatrics) , I have gone through your question and understand your concerns,

Passing stool every 2-3 days can be normal in this age provided stools are not hard. Thyroid function tests may also be done to rule out hypothyroidism . Drops like figolax can be added after discussing with your health care provider .

Hope this answers your query. If any more question or follow up query do right to us. I will be happy to answer your question.
Take care.
Thanks
