Hello Doctor, My daughter is going to be 3 yrs old soon. She doesn't pass stool on daily basis. After a gap of 3-4 days she passes the stool (with lot of difficulty) which is very hard and sometimes she gets rashes and slight blood stains appear in her potty. She eats everything. We try giving her lots of water. She is also very active. This issue has started from last 2 months of irregular potty. we tried giving her Ayurveda medicine (swauff water) but that too is not making her do every day. Before that she used to do every day without any issue. kindly advice me , what can be done to make her potty loose and the ways i can guide me child to do potty every day. awaiting your reply Thanks & Regards.
