A member asked:
My 4 year old is 17 days s/p lap appendectomy. she's had several severe episodes of constipation. could this be a sign of a sbo?

Unlikely: Small bowel obstruction (SBO ) a serious complication will have more signs &symptoms not just constipation. Make sure taking enough fluids , vegetables and take to the surgeon for follow up .
