It seems like your child is experiencing constipation, which can be uncomfortable and distressing for them. You’re already using glycerin suppositories and Duphalac (lactulose) syrup, which are common treatments for alleviating constipation in children. However, focusing on dietary and lifestyle changes can also be very effective. Ensure your child is getting plenty of fluids – water and other hydrating drinks can help soften stool. Including fiber-rich foods in their diet is essential as well. Offer fruits like apples, pears, prunes, and vegetables, whole grains, and cereals. Regular physical activity helps promote bowel movement too, so encourage play that keeps your child moving. Reassess and track these lifestyle modifications along with medication over a week or two. If you’re not seeing improvement, consult a pediatrician or a healthcare provider. It’s important not to rely solely on glycerin and lactulose for prolonged periods without a professional consultation. Assess if any foods are causing the issue and consider any recent changes in diet. Importantly, ensure that there’s no fear or anxiety related to toilet use which can sometimes exacerbate the problem. Avoid pressing the child to use the toilet if they’re not ready or too uncomfortable. If your child experiences severe pain, blood in the stool, or other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention promptly as this may require a different approach or further investigation.
