Constipation may be: Related to pain medications. If of recent onset. Children with low muscle tone tend to have chronic constipation. Your son's pediatrician can advise you on treatment after examining him to determine if he needs a " clean-out" prior to instituting bulk laxatives. The american hydrocephalus association has an excellent website: http://www.Hydroassoc.Org/. I hope your son does well from now on.
