Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
The ailments of sore throat and constipation are seemingly unrelated. About the constipation, the doctor has done the right thing in suggesting her to take laxopeg junior. However, alongside you need to give her plenty of fiber rich foods.
Sources of insoluble fiber include:
whole grain foods.
wheat and corn XXXXXXX
legumes such as beans and peas.
nuts and seeds.
potato skins.
lignans.
vegetables such as green beans, cauliflower, zucchini (courgette), celery, and nopal.
some fruits including avocado, and unripe bananas.
Giving these would help.
Let me know if you have any specific queries.

Brief Answer:
Constipation.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Indeed the description goes with constipation and laxopeg should help in such a situation. Laxopeg is an agent that pulls water into the intestines and thus increases the water content of the stool thus making it soft. It might require a number of doses of laxopeg for the stool to normalize.
