Suggest Treatment For Constipation In A 4 Year Old

My 4 year old has been trying to get a stool out and cannot get it to pass. It is too large to pass comfortably. I finally got her to stop trying and now she is sleeping from exhaustion (crying and pushing). This happens occasionally and is very painful. How can I help her get it out?

Hello. I just read through your question.
you can use either a Pediatric enema or a Pediatric glycerin suppository. neither option is pleasant, but they will both do the job.
