I would like to know if there is anything else I could do to help him besides the laxaday and drinking water? Another product?

Question

My 4 year old son is having trouble with his bowel movements, it's been 5 days now without a bowel movement. I am trying to get him to drink more water and I have been giving him laxaday for the last 4 days. 53lbs and I give him half a cork twice a day!

Hello ma'am, what is his weight and how much LAX-A-DAY do you give him? Thanks for the information! If it is easier for you, you can give him the full dose, up to the line on the cap, once a day. You did the right thing by encouraging him to drink, you need to give your child plenty to drink and encourage him to consume fiber such as in sweet potatoes, fruits, vegetables, oatmeal etc. This is the best way to soften the child's stomach. This is the best way to soften the stool. I would also suggest exercises for her while she is on her back, such as squats (making her knees touch her chest) and bike riding. I hope this has been helpful to you, and please feel free to ask any other questions you may have! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
