Suggest Treatment For Loose Motions In A Child
How long before faecal impaction is resolved, my daughter has been on movicol paediatric for six weeks and is taking between 10 and 16 sachets daily. Has been having very very loose bowel movements about two to three times daily but nothing resembling a proper stool.

Hi, thanks for the question. i have gone through your question and understand your concerns. from your history it looks that fecal impaction is resolved. i recommend you to titrate the dose till your child passes normal stools then you can continue the same dose and follow a proper diet. your child may not require 10-16 sachet/day which may be the reason that she is having loose stools.
