Hi, thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Your child is having constipation, that's why she is passing small pellets like stool whole day. She requires debunking of her stools. Daily give her lactulose for at least a week so that she passes normal consistency stools, adjust the dose according to her response, but you have to continue for at least another 3 to 6 months for her to get adjusted to pass normal consistency stools. Try to give her plenty of oral fluids, vegetables, green leaves, fruits etc. and change the variety of food so that she gets adjusted to everything. Hope this has been helpful to you, kindly feel free to contact again for any queries. Kindly rate the answer if so. Take care.  Chat Doctor.
