Hello, my 6 year old son took Combantrin (2 pills). Since then, he has not had a bowel movement. I know that constipation is a side effect of the medication. But is it normal that after 8 days, it is still the same? What can I give him to help?

. It sounds like your son has not had a bowel movement in 8 days. I would recommend that you see a doctor as soon as possible. If he is having difficulty with bowel movements, you can try increasing his fiber and fluid intake, and using a glycerin suppository or PEG-3350 orally. Please contact your pharmacist for more information on dosages and usage.
