Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Lactulose?

I have a three month old baby whom I tried lactulose on for the first time today, he s had one dose and about three hours later he woke from his nap screaming in pain and completely inconsolable, I just wandered if it s caused by the lactulose? I managed to get him to drink and he s fallen asleep now but I worry when he wakes he will be in pain

Hi

It is unlikely to be due to lactulose one dose , take care not to give him without consulting your pediatrician

thanks
