Hi, it appears that the baby had temperature, due to some infection, that is to be treated immediately, to make the baby comfertable, so i advise you to consult a pediatritian for diagnosis and treatment. To prevent constipation, you can give a spoon of luke warm water daily in the morning, and you can continue mild laxative. Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for placing your query on Health Care Magic
From the symptoms it seems that your baby is suffering from a fissure. In babies who are constipated and have hard stools, sometimes passage of the hard stools causes a crack in the skin lining the anus. It is painful and the baby avoids passing stool because of the pain. The stool inside the body get dehydrated and is hardened further. The baby needs to receive Sitz bath i.e make him sit in luke warm water for 10-15 min, 3-4 times a day. It helps healing of the fissure. Some creams are available to decrease the pain and promote healing. Also your child needs some laxatives till stool is soft. Contact a pediatric surgeon for confirming the diagnosis and a proper prescription. I also suggest a few dietary modifications like give your baby honey, lots of fluids and add extra sugar to his milk. That also acts a laxative.
Hope that helps
God bless you
