Answer 1

water...water...water...

Answer 2

As even my aunt's son faced same problem........
1. Your son, if he is consuming milk through feeding bottle then check whether he is drinking it quickly or not, sometimes there were chances he may take only air from the bottle rather than the milk particularly you can notice it while he is taking milk during his sleep, if so, please try to avoid that. while he was drinking milk be with him until he completes it.
2. If your son is still under breast feeding occasionally (daily once )ensure that milk is ejaculating from his mother's breast while he is, if not so stop giving breast feed, because even during such a case your son will face such a problem.
3. Give him more liquid food, some pretty mom's will think our son will grow stronger if we provide him thick milk without adding water, dont do that, because he is just 3
4. Avoid giving a lot of junk foods like biscuits and choclates as it will make the bowel excretion tight

Try following this for a week, even then the problem persists contact then the doctor.

Answer 3

Very often, the question is not "what to do?", it's "what did i wrong?".
Kids become such problems very often as a result of psychological pressure in their early age, which very often is related with the "bowel act" and unfortunately the "painfully bowel excretion" is only the beginning. Visit a homoeopath physician to treat your son, make sure that there is nothing pathological behind it and change your behaviour against your son. Try to recognise the natural functions of the human organism and be their friend -not their enemy.

Answer 4

My daughter used to have trouble going to the loo, right form being a babe in arms. The thing is the more it hurts the more they tense up so the more it hurts. It used to get to the stage where my girl just didn't dare want to go to the loo. My younger cousin was the same when she was young and her mum was told to take a cotton bud and dip it in dish washing up liqiud and the tip and gentle put this on the entrance of their back passage, this is not made up it's true. Although I did think it was quite bizarre apparently its acts as an enema! I actually opted for giving my daughter controlled measures of Lactulose for a couple of days to loosen her movements. The once the stools loosen just make sure your son drinks plenty of fluids and eats a varied balanced diet with fruit and veggies and fibre etc

Also another tip I got from my Health Visitor (although difficult to time) was to run a warm bath when your little one needed to go, the warmth of the water relaxes the anal passage making it easier to pass the stool.

I hope this helps and good luck :-)

Answer 5

sounds like his diet doesn't have enough fiber
i know it's hard to get kids to eat right but so very
important. cereal is a good way to get more fiber
especially if it's a good healthy one and include fruit
in his diet. 2 or 3 times a day says that they are small hard
movements and the fiber will help.
if you don't get his bowels to move good in the next couple of days
his bowels may be impacted and he will need a doctor right away

Answer 6

excess milk in diet, relative paucity of water, absence or minimal qnty of fibre in the form of fruits and vegetables in the diet are all known causes of constipation in children.
in addition, junk foods, fried or oily foods or snacks aggravate the problem.
Do consult a Pediatric Surgeon for proper management. Putting dishwasher liquid up the child's bottom is not only dangerous but outright foolish. Please dont use over the counter laxatives, they are effective only while they are being taken. what needs to be done is a detailed examination to rule out certain major surgical problems and get scientific advise to manage the problem. in case ur interested, there is a detailed article on constipation on http://drbmjayakar.tripod.com in the "Patient resources section"

Answer 7

Definately take him to the doctor. I know someone who had cronic constipation from the time he was born and was finally diagonsed as having Coeliac Disease in his late teens. He lived with the symptoms all those years. Now he is on a gluten-free diet and has none of the problems he grew up with.

It may not be the same thing, but it could be something as simple as Coeliac and could be easily fixed by a visit to your GP.

Answer 8

Sound similar to what my son had 2o years ago as a 2 yr old. Have him checked for a possible bowel impaction.

We had to take him to the ER on a very bad rainy night to Washington, DC National Children's Hospital to have it treated.

Don't wait....have him checked out ASAP.

Answer 9

What is the consistency of your child's stool? If it is hard, your son is probably having constipation.
Try clicking on the link I listed below. It will help you if your son's problem is indeed constipation.
Anyway, I think it would be best to visit your child's pediatrician for a proper assessment of the problem.

Answer 10

Short term measure: take him to see a doctor for proper medication. Long term measure: avoid junk food, give him plenty of fruits and water especially in the mornings and evenings. He will be alright

Answer 11

Tell the doctor and get a over the counter bowel softener for him.
