Hi,
The pain is due to dry and hard stools. She can be given boiled vegetables, raw fruits and salads along with sufficient water intake. Apply glycerin suppository for children at fixed hours in a day. So as to form regular bowel habits. Eating water soaked dried fig would help her.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
