Question
My daughter is 2yrs old, she has been constipated since she was born but it has become much more severe in the last 6 months. She is on 60ml of liquid paraffin a day. Over the last couple of weeks she is vomiting sometimes 3 times per day other times once, she is waiting for an appointment for a pediatric surgeon to have a look at her, I would just like to know when do I get worried about her, or is it ok just to wait for the appointment
Answer
Since she is constipated since birth one needs to find out the cause. Condition such as Hirsprung's disease should be ruled out. Since she is vomiting, you must visit the surgeon immediately to rule out intestinal obstruction. Back to All Questions
