Mu child is 4 year old. He had fever for last one week and doctor gave Mefcare Plus and Ampicline after three days, when the fever was not normal he prescribed Lumerax syrup and Vizylac Syrup, now he is having no fever but having constipation for last three days. Should Ezlax be given for constipation, earlier doctor prescribed for constipation and used to gave him. And the motion was normal than but now is having constipation, please advice.
Hi...this is not constipation. Usually when the kids are sick they tend to eat less and that will in turn reflect as constipation. This is a self limiting condition and will resolve automatically as soon as the kids' appetite improves. Do not treat it with any sort of laxatives as it can cause troublesome diarrhea for a kid in convalescence period and delay the recovery. Regards -
