@dylansmom, croup and constant constipation. I do everything I can to help him go but he still struggles a lot. He was treated for croup also but last night he started coughing again a lot and he's had low temps. I feel so bad for him.
Aww its so sad when they r sick!! What do u do for his constipation? My son used to suffer badly and i started giving him probiotics daily and seeing a chiropractor once a week and he hasnt been constipated in months since we started.
@dylansmom, I meant to look up probiotics. I need too. But I've been giving him miralax daily as told to by his doctor but I really hate too but he struggles even more if I don't. Maybe probiotics would be less harmful to him compared to miralax? And I've upped his fiber intake which has been helping! I give suppositories when he hasn't gone in days or is really struggling to push and cries. He also sees a chiropractor.
@dylansmom, what do you give your child? I know they have a probiotic medicine type thing for babies but I've seen a juice with probiotics too. I looked up some things but I just wasn't exactly sure where to start. Should I ask my pharmacist?
@dylansmom, I got him some baby probiotic yogurt today and asked the pharmacist about this mommy bliss probiotic and she said it should be fine to give him but try with the yogurt first so I am

Just be careful because dairy can cause worse constipation so keep a close eye

@dylansmom, I was probably better off just getting the drops. I will soon.
