Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
You can give laxatives as prescribed during the period of passing hard stool.
At the same time you have to do some dietary changes in the child diet.
Give dietary fiber rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and leafy vegetables.
Dietary fiber will make stool soft.
Ask the child to drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.

look for milk thoery child need only breast milk for 2 year ad no milk after that
as we add milk as it is animal protein it reacts with human proteins to give these type of problems
if you withdraw milk and diary completely and add other foods fruits juices and soups she will recover in few days
and try only milk after 5 years of age
