Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
welcome to HCM

If I were your treating pediatrician I will like to know height and weight of your child and dietary history of your child.Most common cause of constipation in a baby is due to less dietary fibres , in that case giving a balanced diet will help .A thyroid profile is advisable if constipation persists.You need a history and examination by pediatrician to guide you regardind required tests if any.Lactulose or figolax plus can be taken after obtaining a prescription from pediatrician.For pain during defecation xylocaine jelly can be used to reduce pain locally.

Hope I answered your query.
thanks.
