Ds is 2, for some time he has struggled to poo. His pattern is to go a few days and then have a few in one day but this has turned into impaction/ constipation. Went to gp on Tuesday and we were prescribed movacol.
I decided to start with this the next day as it was fairly late by the time we got home.
Fast forward to 10pm Tuesday night and ds woke up very upset, he was thrashing around and 'wretching'( tryin to be sick, not even sure if wrenching is actually a word?).
This carried on all night, he was very upset, obviously uncomfortable but wAsnt actually sick. I stuck a flexi day in at work and kept ds home. He ate well and seemed ok if a little bit tired due to lack of sleep the night before.
He was sick just before bed last night and the wrenching and fidgeting started again.
He has been fine today. Ate well again, has emptied his Bowels but he's just gone to sleep and the same is happening again. He is so upset I'm tempted to ring doctor to come out.
I can hear lots of liquid in his mouth, like a gurgling, he ten wakes up and screams the place down. I just can't settle him and he isn't sleeping longer than ten mins at a time.
Could it be reflux?? At his age?? It sounds like something is trying to get up iykwim??
I have a hiatus hernia with causes acid reflux, it's often worse at night but it seems a coincidence that its happened after he has been constipated.
Any advice would be great, I'm lying next to him but just know he isn't gonna sleep well again.
