HI Thank for asking to HCM Your query is appreciated, it is the constipation condition here in this case, stool softener can be tried and the best drug of choice is Sorbitol it is kind of sweetener but can be used as laxative particularly in this age group pediatric, it is advisable to treat the case with Sorbitol first, of course fiber can be given along with this encourage the child for drinking water hope this information and advise helps.
