HI DEAR, i have read the problem , dear it is very common ailment these days due to changes in life style including sedentary habbit , fast food, pollution, poor motility,
minority of children have an organic cause for constipation,many of the children children have functional constipation resulting from intentional withholding of stool. in such children an unpleasant event may precipitate desire to withhold stool.
unpleasant toilet training may lead to deliberate withholding.
investigations i need ;
1. thyroid profile

follow this-
1. increase fluid intake at least 6- 8 cups per day
