Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

Your daughter seems to have recovered from UTI with medicines given to her by your doctor.For the present complaint of constipation,she can take liquid Lactulose 30 ml (20 gm) at bed-time. Lactulose increases stool water content and causes stool softening. May increase to 60 mL/day.
