My 3.5 years old daughter always remains constipated. Since few days ago she left taking milk..now she hardly passes stools by herself. After every two to three days I give her medicine nd then she passes the stool.

[@deepakgoyal8908]

Most cases of constipation in kids are Functional or Habitual. A good history, clinical examination and relevant tests by a Pediatric Gastroenterologist are needed to manage such cases.

If the constipation is persisting for a long time then the child should be evaluated properly by a Pediatric Gastroenterologist to rule out possible causes..
