Hello,

Your child is already suffering from skin infection & has a history of constipation. Since the AEC test reports show higher than the desired level, get your daughter get properly treated of the skin infection. Add fiber in her diet, give he plenty of juice, soups & water to help reduce constipation.

When she is not constipated & is cured of her skin infection, consider getting a repeat AEC test done. You should get a normal report & if you don't, it is a cause of concern. Get your daughter go through a thorough medical check-up.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
