Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What To Do If Baby Has Constipation And Refuses To Eat And Gets A Rash On Face When Refuses Food?
My daughter is 14 months old and has been 8kg since she was 8 months old. She refused solids until she was 12 months old. She has been eating (very fussy) for the last 6 weeks but still no weight gain. She was put on Osmolax by her ped as she is terribly constipated 6 weeks ago. She started eating once the osmolax started her pooing. In the last 2 weeks she has started refusing food again. I have also noticed that the osmolax doesn t seem to be working as well and we will need to put her dose up again soon to continue her pooing. This is worrying as she is so little and the laxatives can t be good for her. She seems to have not a lot of interest in food. She was exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months but never even seemed that interested in breast milk either. She also gets a rash on her face when she starts to refuse food. She scratches it a lot and we put steroids cream on it to calm it down. We have also noticed her gums and mouth bleed a lot for no apparent reason. Our ped got her cheeks swabbed to test for the celiac gene and her cheeks bled from the gentle brush of the swab.
