If there is a large amount of backed up stool in the abdomen, laxatives won't phase it. Mineral oil enemas and Fleets enemas are usually necessary and then mineral oil by mouth and stool softeners for several weeks. Your doctor may need to break up the stool in the rectum as well. You might consider taking your child to another doctor. |
