My LO has had issues with constipation since starting weaning. It appears he has developed an anal fissure and screams in agony every time he poos. He was on lactulose which seemed to make poos bigger but still not very soft. He has now been prescibed movicol. He poos every day or two but it is never that soft and he is always in pain. I am struggling to understand how this is going to get better, how he will heal. I am taking special care with his diet, he has a lot of fruit and veg and we try to get as much fluids in as possible.
Has anyone got any experience with fissures (little tears in the rectum)/lots of pain with pooing and any tips on how to help him?
