<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My 1 year 6 months old boy is having irregular past motion. he is not having any constipation at all but he takes 4 days and sometimes even a week. We give him prune juice also has no effect. We are worried...  <response>: Hi, A motion once in 3-4 days can be taken as normal if the stools are not too hard or painful to pass. But once in week is a bit odd, and we have to look for any contributory factors. For a normal bowel habit, there should be adequate fluid intake and a healthy diet rich in residues fiber. So include plenty of fiber rich items in diet, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, oats and Chat Doctor. If these measures does not help in 1-2 months, kindly see a pediatrician for evaluation. In this case, we may need to get few investigations like thyroid function, serum calcium and barium studies. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
