Help 4 yr old son stool witholding
My son is 4yrs old and has been doing this ever since he has been potty trained. I have been to paediatric specialist who said it is psycholigical now as he can go he just chooses not to. The specialist has had him on movicol, lactulose, senna you name it but he has learnt how to control these or he will become explosive and ends up with a sore bottom. I am kind of at my wits end as i have tried all the reward charts, books for him and ive read loads of books too. He wears pullups all the time otherwise i can go through 10 pairs of pants a day where a little has come out and he has squeezed the rest back in. He will have no marks for a couple of days and then its constant until he goes at maybe day 12...unless ive given him any of the meds and then he is explosive. Ive made an appointment for specialist again but not for 2 months and a gp appointment to see if he can suggest another route in the interim.
Anyone got any advice?
Thank you 😦
