how to help 7 yr pass hard BM
My 7 yr old has a hard poo in there and can't pass it because it hurts. We've gave him 3 Pedia-Lax chewable tablets (magnesium hydroxide) last night (saline laxative) that says it works in 1/2 to 6 hours. Nothing yet. 3 more this morning. He drinks at least 8 oz. of water with them. Yesterday earlier in the day I had given him natural calm (magnesium citrate) and also some Citrucel (fiber bulking agent). He has tried several times but it won't come out or hurts too much.
Suggestions? I've read that stimulant laxatives can cause cramping and force out a painful one (which can cause further fear, etc.). Is it time for an enema? He's even been to swimming lessons this morning and the cool water apparently didn't stimulate him.
