What Is The Remedy For Enema And Constipation?
Hi I have been dealing with my four year who has extreme constipation. We have treated with miralax, exlax and enemas. Tonight he had a enema and his poop was pencil thin and very difficult to get out even with the enema. This seems like a red flag to me and am considering a hospital trip. What do you think?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I would like to say you that you are doing extremely wrong with the child better stop given enema this could cause great harm to the child, in this age group it does not matter even if the child does not pass the stool for days, encourage the child for drinking water, fruit juice, avoid chocolate, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
