If your child is having difficulty evacuating their bowels and it persists, you should consult a doctor. Increasing fiber intake, giving prunes in juice or compote, and ensuring they drink enough water can help regulate bowel movements. If there has been no bowel movement for 7 days, it could be dangerous. After 3 days of discomfort, a medication like lax-a-day may be necessary. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent the child from developing a fear of bowel movements.
