Dear parent, I understand your concerns . you should give lactulose syrup 3 times daily to overcome the problem of constipation. you should make sure the child is adequately hydrated as decreased fluid intake may lead to constipation. make sure she drinks at least 6 cups of fluids ( water, milk, juice, soup) daily one of them should be an orange juice. try to offer her a high fiber content diet such as whole wheat biscuits and citrus fruits
