Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 3 year old son is having problems with his bowel movements...every time he tries to use the potty to poop...the poop just sticks to his bottom and won t come out. I have tried a laxative per a pharmacist with no avail. His little bottom is so red and irritated and we go through this about 4 times a day. Any suggestions?
