HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that for the child of age of just five months defecation of passing of stool does not matter and must not be treated with suppository this could be harmful for child, hope this information helps you, take a good care of child and have a great day.
I find this answer helpful
