Is It Safe To Continue Ezlax After Polyepctomy?

Hi, I am Shanmugam. My kid was having hard stools and fresh blood traces for some months. After endoscope, colonscope, he was treated for having sessile polyps near the anus and polyepctomy was done. He was given Ezlax for 3 months. The course ended last week and he is having hard stools again. Please advise whether the same can be continued for few more months and provide your valuable advise on overcoming constipation. He is 2 yrs 10 months old.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Constipation is very common at this age because of bad food habits. You can continue Ezlax.It is safe.Along with that change in food habits is of utmost importance.
NO maida based items like bread biscuits Maggy cake
NO chocolate and chocolate drinks
NO apple banana pomegranate
NO buffalo milk
GIVE lots of water,liquids, one wati soup daily,one fruit daily,one anjeer daily,overnight soaked 5-6 black raisin daily,green salad
