Suggest Medication For Constipation
My baby is 3 months old and formula fed (similac sensitive). He has had some issues with constipation for the past month that was semi solved by adding pear juice to one bottle a day. Now today he is extremely fussy and when he finally pooped he turned beet red and cried and cried. Upon inspection the stool was brownish kinda gloppy but with defined white flakes. He continued to be upset and sensitive even after having hos bowel movement. Should we be concerned and going to urgent care?

Hello. I just read through your question.
constipation is very common in this age group. Prune juice added to the formula can be a great help. I recommend one teaspoon of prune juice for every 4 ounces of formula.there is no need to run to an emergency room or urgent care center. If the symptoms don't improve or resolve in one week, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
