Hi Doctor, i have a 2 years old daughter. For the past 3 days, she wokes at 4 or 5 am due to pain in her stomach. She tries to pass motion but cant and starts crying. So that time i give her colicaid drops (1 ml) and after 15 min i give her a glass of milk. Then after an hour she sleeps. In the day time, she passes motion but not freely but dont cries. Please tell me what to do.
If she is chronically constipated, she may be having anal fissures causing pain while passing stool, with holding, resulting in further hardening of stool and a viscous cycle of pain and constipation. She will require a rectal suppository or an enema followed by daily laxative, a lot of fluid orally along with diet rich in fiber. Anal fissures if any may be treated with local application of an anesthetic and an antibiotic cr\u00e8me in the anal canal.
