Suggest Remedy To Stop Child From Withholding Stools
My son is 3 1/2 and has had problems with withholding faeces for over two years now. He is on movicol daily and senna as required if he hasn t passed stool for a while. He had a short period when he passed stools well and went to toilet without being encouraged to but this only lasted few days then he held it in for a week needing senna and being restrained to pass motion. Any advice please
