Child Has Constipation. Crying And Feels It Is Hurting. Used A Rectal Thermometer, Diarrhea Came Out. Tiny Blood Spots. Suggestions
Cass is 11 weeks old and over the last several days has had a issue with constipation. He has been crying pretty much all day and appears to be hurting. I used a rectal thermometer and he had a gush of diarrahea come out. There were several tiny spots of blood but that seems to have alleviated some of the discomfort. Do you have any other suggestions till we can call the doctor in the morning

Hello. Kindly try baby's belly/abdomen x ray to be done before any treatment started. It will help for any underlying problem. You haven't mention about his feed. Is he taking milk or feed normal?? Or cry after taking feed?
