Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
At 7 months of age sometimes child may pass stool over 3 days, this is a normal thing. The problem to worry is that stool is hard and child is crying while passing stools. If I were your treating doctor, i would have advised you to start colicaid drops 7 drops three times a day and advised you to give more semisolid diet to the child like oats, mashed banana, apple, cerelac, dal, rice. This will help in relieving symptoms in child.
I hope this has helped you.
Regards
