What Causes Recurring Constipation In An Infant?

Hi. My 20 month old daughter has been suffering with recurring constipation for the past 6 months. Almost every two weeks she blocks up. I have taken her to two paedeatricians and two GPs on more than 5 occasions in these 6 months. Is it possible to take her for scan

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, constipation is not disease (unless proved), encourage her for drinking water, take care in diet, avoid unnecessary medication, condition can be tried with "Sorbitol" liquid, dose need to be adjusted according to weight, no need to take her for scan, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
