Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Fever In A Child?
hello my first time using and need a second opion I have a 2 1/2 year old daught that has a hard time using the bathroom. It has been about one week since she had a number two. The last two days she has been having a really hard time. I have been giving her marlax once a day and she eats rather healthy. When she tries to go she tries for like 30 min and they wears herself out so much that she goes to sleep. She has been having spells of playing and being normal than when she tries to go to the bathroom she gets ttired. She also runs a fever at the time she does try to go to the bathroom. Any advice that you might be able to give would be healpful. I am concerned because she has problems like this for about 6 months now.
