Thank you for consultation.

constipation in infants is a very common complaint which is usually mismanaged  with lot of wrong beliefs.
.
if he is passing stools every day then he has no constipation ( Wrong)

anything of the following is considered constipation :

• straining or
• pain during passing stools.
• small amount.
• abdominal distension
• hard stools.

giving hard food will lead to more constipation (wrong)

you have to encourage normal food for age to help normal intestinal movements.



Milk is laxative ( extremely wrong and common belief)

Milk contains calcium and without other foods will usually lead to constipation in older children.
you cannot stop giving milk to children but combine it with other ( laxative kinds of food)

the treatment of your condition is not the local treatment of fissure but the prevention of constipation ( according to our definition) and fissure will heal by itself ( unless yo have another attack of constipation.

fissure takes about one month to heal !

best treatment of constipation is to give regular ( daily suppository) Glycerin infantile or Bisadyl 5 mg at the same time everyday

you will see that he will pass more amount of stools and more easily but you need to stay about one month to regulate the habit and give it as needed later on .
no side effects or habit forming from giving suppository even for long periods but there are many problems with constipation ! .


if bleeding remains after one month you have to see the pediatric surgeon .


best wishes for speedy recovery .
