Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Hard Stool In A Child

Hello, my 6 year old has been complaining her stomach hurts. I noticed when she goes to the bathroom her stools are hard and it's usually not much. Last time she was at the doctor's they prescribed miralax. This was about two months ago. I noticed she continues to not move her bowels that often so I started giving her Activia. This morning she was complaining her stomach hurt and her right arm was hurting. I had to give her tylenol.

Questions:

1. Did your kid pass motion or meconium on day one of life?

2. Since how long is the kid constipated?

3. Does the kid have any bleeding along with hard stools?

4. How much milk does the kid consume per day?

5. Does the kid eat fruits and vegetables (fibre diet) appropriately?
