CONSTIPATED WITH A VERY BAD COLD...?

[MollyMooMin]

My DD is 20 months old and hasn't had a poo for 3 days. She's suddenly developed the worst cold EVER. She's eating & drinking normally... Are these two connected, & what can I do to help her?

Could be connected. When she has a cold she might need to drink more. If you imagine when you have a cold the body is busy producing vast amounts of snot, saliva etc, so you probably need to drink more than normal to keep hydrated.
As well as more drink that usual, try to get her to eat as much fruit as she can. Good for three reasons, lots of Vit C to help replace lost stores & also lots of water in fruit to help rehydrate & lots of fibre too to get the poo moving.
Hope she feels better soon.

Thanx bugsy. She eats loads of fruit anyway. She has a brill diet of loads of veg... so can't understand it..?
