My nephew is 1 and a half years old. He didn't poo since last two days and is now crying with pain. It is 1 am in the morning. Can anyone suggest immediate home remedy or treatment for that?

Dear Patient,

Kids prone to constipation should not be given foods that are binding. Give him mango/papaya/apple regularly. Figs soaked overnight in water should be given. Oats n roti can be given.
In severe cases as described give 10ml of syrup lactulose/lilac every night till constipation subsides. Include benefiber in his diet if severe constipation is regularly experienced.
Meet with a specialist if the problem persists
