What Could Cause Constipation In A Breastfed Infant With Rashes And Fever?

hi my name is Rachel!I have a 8weeks old baby boy and he is breastfeeding and has not passed any stools for 2days now so I thought maybe he might be having stomach cramps coz he has a fever around the abdomen and when he cries he pulls his legs towards his stomach and is now developing a rush around the face!I have given him Panado syrup for the fever and Hyospasmol syrup for cramps!What could be wrong with Him???

Pediatrician,  's  Response
As a pediatrician I would like to examine the baby... Crying episodes for 2-3 hours daily in infants less than 6 months old is normal in many cases... Some infants pass stool only thrice weekly... That is also normal... If baby is taking breastfeed properly... Baby doent have vomiting... Baby is passing urine 5-6 times in 24 hrs... Then doesnt need medications... However baby needs clinical examination by pediatrician to see everything is normal... So visit a pediatrician....
