My son had no bm x 9 days. gave glycerin supp. had small bm. started vomiting. did dulcolax supp. had lot of bm. still tummy pain. what now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bowel irritants: Dulcolax works by stimulating/irritating the bowels - this can cause cramping and abdominal discomfort. If the pain lasts longer than a couple of hours OR if it seems to be out of proportion to what you expect then he needs urgent evaluation.
