A member asked:

I think my 3 year old daughter has been constipated for 2 weeks. she tried passing a hard stool tonight but it was to big to come out. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Diet changes: Increase her water intake. Add more p- fruits like peach, pear, plum, prune, pineapple, papaya, pomegranate, pumpkin, and peas. You can consider smooth move tea (1/3 cup) a day til get her to poop. Vaseline on her anus to keep it from tearing when she needs to pass a large poop. If nothing is helping contact her pediatrician for more help.
