Brief Answer:
Constipation
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question. She can have an unlimited amount of prune juice. This can only help, not hurt.
However, sometimes this is noy enough. In some cases, a pediatric enema is necessary to fully empty the bowel. If another day or two goes by and you notice her getting increasing more uncomfortable, you may have to try the enema.
