What Causes Pain In Bottom In Kid?

My little 3 1/2 year old girl is complaining of pain in her bottom. She has had this for the last 3 nights (it does not appear to happen during the day). She tries to do a poo but is unable to do so and usually falls asleep around midnight but I think it is because she is exhausted. She has also been going to the toilet a lot during the day as well mainly weeing. Can you suggest any cause?

Dear parent, I understand your concerns but it seems that your child is suffering from constipation. you should give a lactulose syrup 3 times daily. make sure your child is adequately hydrated with 8 cups of fluids daily. one of them should be orange juice as decreased intake of fluids leads to constipation.
