Constipation: Hi. Welcome to Healthtap, I'm Dr. Ivy Fisher, pedi MD. Water flush (48-64 ozs/d) helps along with Miralax at bedtime until better. The distention can cause pain in back/abdomen. It could be a different problem if you have been active and strained back, abdominal rectus muscles. Advil for pain. Lots of fruits, prune Juice, green leafy vegetables. If further problems arise: fever, pain, emesis- appt
