hi my 5 year old son have a hard time going to the potty. He pop very small amount, seems like it is not all coming out. When we wipe him there is sticky feces left. We gave him alot of water and Prune juice. He still hasn t poop much. When he feel going he will tell us his butt hurt. We check him , no redness or rashes, we just have no idea. Please help..
Hi, Seeing the history having passing small amount of stool which is sticky in nature indicates that he might be having gastrointestinal infection mainly of protozoal infection. Go for stool test for ova and cyst. After report, he might require one course of metronidazole or combination of oxacillin, metronidazole combination medicine course for 5 days. Give him light food and plenty of water. Ok and take care.
