My kid 3 years old is suffering from constipation from a very long time. He has taken many medication for stool to pass. From 1 week he is having stomach ache and vomiting whenever he drinks milk or eat anything. So I took him to the doctor and he again prescribed to give him muout. Its been months he is taking this but it is not a permanent solution. And the doctor has never asked for tests or anything. Because of this problem he is not getting healthy and keeps crying and he also have disturbed sleep. What should I do?
