Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Constipation And Severe Stomach Pain In Children?
6 year old grandson has mild to severe stomach pain. He has been constipated and finally had very small bowel 2 very small bowel movements yesterday and 3 small ones today. His parents had him start eating things like granola, whole grain cereal, fruit, juice and more water. He is still complaining of pain. What could be wrong?
I do not see anything serious in this child as long as he has been able to pass bowel movement twice yesterday and thrice today.
The pain is due to being constipated and finding difficult to pass the stool. Give some prune supplement (fiber) plus apply anal enema to help him pass the stool.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
