dd is 4, for about 3 weeks she has been going to toilet and when I wipe there is no poo but she says it has disappeared down the toilet . When she does go it is very loose. At the weekend she appeared constipated and was only getting a bit of poo in her pants but none in the toilet. I gave her a sachet of her sister's Movicol and on the Sunday she produced a large poo but the problem has since got worse. She is suffering fecal incontinence and is off to the loo at least twice an hour, often more. Again nothing in the loo and just a bit stuck to her body. What is coming out is quite loose and her tummy is still like rock. I think she is impacted and has bypass poo coming out.
She is meant to be starting reception on Thursday this week but at the moment there is no way I can let her as she is literally soiling her pants 10 times+ a day. I tried to get a doctors appointment this afternoon but the shitty receptionist wouldn't do anything until I phone tomorrow morning
dd is really upset and I need to know what to ask for at doctor tomorrow. Do you think they will consider an x-ray to see what's going on? If she is treated for fecal impaction how long does it take to get over the worse and be able to go to school? Poor dd, she was in floods of tears tonight as she is really upset to be pooing in her pants and having no control. I haven't even mentioned not starting school on Thursday to her as I know she'll be gutted.
Any advice?
