Suggest Treatment For Constipation In A Child

my kid is 8 month old. She puts alot of pressure while passing motion/stools. similar to the noise you make and pressure you apply when pushing something heavy with your feet. She passes motion 2 times a day minimum. has been doing this even before she was introduced to semi solids. her face becomes red as well while applying pressure Why does she put that much pressure?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Consult a pediatrician and get evaluated. We have to rule out possible causes like congenital hypothyroidism as it can cause similar symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
