Hi
Welcome to HCM
Naturolax is Isabgol i.e. a husk obtained from Psyllium plant. This has no side effects and is a remarkable medication for constipation.
Since it has only fibre to add bulk to stools, and no associated drug, its completely safe if given for constipation even in kids.
Symptoms in your daughter seems to be due to some other reason. In my opinion it might be due to constipation per se if not relieved and if not associated with any other symptom.If symptoms still persist, do consult your physician.

Hi
Welcome to HCM
Naturolax has fibre extracted from psyllium plant. It acts by adding fibre to diet there by helping peristalsis and softening of stools. It has no side effects even in kids if taken at normal doses for constipation. So, don't worry.
Though its a good treatment option for constipation, many a times its not enough to relieve it. So, the shivering and sweating in your daughter may be due to constipation per se and not due to any side effect of naturolax..
But if any of the symptoms continue, do seek your physician check up.
