Hi
Good morning
Have noted your concern
please Boost your child's fiber intake. Give her plenty of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Offer apricots, plums, peas, beans, broccoli and, of course, prunes. If she /he doesn't like the taste of prunes, try adding prune juice to her milk: Just 1 ounce of prune juice in half a cup of milk is very effective.
However an ultrasound abdomen should be done to rule out any abdominal problem.
2.5ml lactulose can be given daily for few days to make stools soft
Isaphghol husk should be given to child 1 table spoon twice daily soaked in milk.
Regards.
