What Causes Severe Fecal Impaction In A Child?

Hi. My granddaughter seems to be fecal impacted very severely. Had Dr. Appt 10 days ago and just had X-ray today. Now the lab won t get them till Monday and I m feeling like I should be taking her to emerge and not waiting. She just turned 9. What do you think?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your granddaughter developing faecal impaction I am suggesting she has developed a constipation possible from decreased water intake

In view of this please ensure the result of the investigation is out and you can give her ducolax suppository to relief the faecal impaction

I hope this helps Regards
