How Safe Is Giving Cremaffin For Constipation?
Hi Doctor, My son is 18 months old and he has the constipation problem. We have been giving cremaffin for over 6 months now (5ml once at night). Is there a problem in giving this ? Also, we are giving Fig in the morning time. Initially giving fig did not work out. Hence we started cremaffin.

Hello,
Using cremaffin syrup is safe but for short period because using for the long term is not a solution. Here are some advice for you:
- Use plenty of water, apple juice, orange juice.
- Use fig in the morning and plum jam.
- Use kiwi in the evening.
- Avoid eating a banana,
- Use abdominal massage to help the abdominal peristalsis increase.
- During this time avoid using cremaffin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Elona Dashi
