Is LivFit Effective In Treating Constipation?
My son is 20 months now and suffering from constipation very frequently. My doctor has suggested to give LIVFIT syrup fro 15 days, but the problem is occurred again once we stop the medicine. Can you please suggest me whether I can proceed with giving LIVFIT for some more days.

if your son is adding weight , we'll developed and having no sever abdominal distention and blood seen in the stools then you should start him on laxatives like lactulose start with 5 ml twice daily , once the hard stools are off his body he will not withhold his stools , usually it's done because of fear of the pain
you can lower the amount of this syrup according to the frequency of bowel motions
it's safe drug and the body doesn't absorp it , it only increases the amount of water in the stool
you can also alter his diet a little bit and increase the amount of fibers
