What Is The Treatment For Constipation In A Child?

Hi, for the last 3 days, my 3 month old baby was straining too much with tears, while passing stool and was not drinking milk/formula as he used to. Just a while back, he had loose motion that is watery yellow. Could you please let me know on what s going on with him and does it need immediate medical attention?

Hello,

I understand your concern but babies of this age can pass motion 10 times per day for 10 days once also.

As long as the baby is feeding well, passing urine well and gaining weight well you need not worry about such stooling pattern.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
