Dr. Allen Kamrava answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

See Pediatrician: There are certain etiologies that can cause constipation in a 2 year old. I would highly suggest speaking with his pediatrician for further evaluation. Depending on the full history, he/she may decide to get a small biopsy of the rectum for further evaluation.
