A member asked:
2 yr old has all & has been on chemo for 10 months. she has severe constipation to the point of screaming in pain. won't take miralax.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: Miralax may be more palatable if mixed in with fruit juice such as apple or white grape juice. If she will not take miralax mixed in juice, pediatric fleet's enema or glycerin suppositories are the alternatives. She may also have anal fissures due to the constipation that is adding to the pain. Follow up with her pediatrician if constipation and pain persists.
