Please, is there any home remedy that can be given to a two years old plus child that has not poo for about three days now, he just finished taking anti malaria and Amoxicillin... A nurse has even prescribed Liquid paraffin for him, he started using it yesterday, yet poop is not coming ... The boy is playing and eating, we only noticed the stomach is a little bloated, though it's coming down. The stomach is not hard, no pain... People around says it's nothing to worry about..... Has anyone experienced this?

Buy fanta in d morning after eating and orange in the evening after eating

Warm water in the morning and give him oranges, vegetables, majorly fruit, veggie , liquid diet for thenext 24 hours , maybe it's the drugs that caused it.

I also don't think its something to worry about but get ready when he eventually shits, it will be very smelly

Going forward incorporate fruit in the diet maybe one orange a day.

Give him fruits and make meals with Vegetables like rice and vegetable sauce, yam and beans porridge with vegetables, etc.


The child will poo

Nothing to worry about really. Give the baby just warm water, especially first thing in the morning about 50cl. It's very good. Do that for now while including a lot of vegetables in his meal. Fruits - oranges, pineapple, cucumber.

If you still doubt, take him to the hospital and see a pedestrian.

Take him for an ultrasound scan to rule out; intussception and hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.

A tablespoon of olive oil on an empty stomach is a foolproof treatment for constipation...

Bananas too, I don't know if there are Prunes in Nigeria but that sh!t works like magic.. Orange can soften the tommy too.. Yoghurt can do wonders too

Alright.... Thanks a lot.

Pls explain in 50 words. Chai! E good 2 go school o!

The amoxicillin might be the culprit.

Perform "pump" or ask experienced hand for help.

Worst case, administer laxative but I prefer pump.

The guy took amoxicillin.
It can cause constipation. It does that to me.
Once it's gone from his system, he will be fine.
Oh my, nigerians

NoToPile:

afombc:

It smells so bad ooooh.

Told you

My two year old son also have this issue, he was pumped 5 days ago but after that day he hasn't poo.
I want to know know foods to be avoided perhaps that could be the cause. He takes Milo & milk first in the morning then afternoon we give him cereal -golden morn. I'm thinking consumption of milk might be the cause.
