Javan has been having constipation for almost 3 weeks. This 3 weeks he had been having hard stool for almost every poo. We had given him stool softener and we stopped after the third dose of medication which was 2 weeks ago. The stool came out soft on the 2nd dose(1st was hard)and we stopped the medication-as it says can stop after bb having soft stool, nanny has feedback that he has been feeding Javan with Fruits and has added more veggie into Javan's porridge but it doesnt help at all. Gosh..Javan cried everytime before and during pooing and he had been trying real hard to aqueeze out the poo but most of the time in vain, the poo was so big and hard.
We wanted to bring him to PD-kidslink last week but change our mind later coz Ive decided to add in Friso comfort for constipation and wanted to see if it's help before going plus it's raining that day. Hence the postponed.
Yesterday morning before I brought him to Nanny, i saw him squeezing his poo again but there's no poo in his diaper, when i reached office i called TMC nurse and explained the constipation problem to her and her advise was to bring Javan down as there might be left over thingy in his body as most of the time hard stool will not be totally clear. And the nurse mention that PD-Dr Keoy do have an evening clinic last evening-we were unaware of the evening clinic. After that i called HT and we decided to bring Javan to consult PD and such a relief that we did visit PD!!
HT went back home after work and packed Javan's stuff into and a haversack (diaper, extra set of clothes, health booklet,milk bottle, powder etc)then he went over nanny place and fetch Javan to TMC on a cab. HT uses a baby carrier to carry Javan with a haversack on his shoulder and an umbrealla, though it sounds not unusual but it's drizzling outside. He really did a good job and i went straight from office to TMC which is easier for me, If not it's really a detour..
Im impressed!! THANKS my Dear!! When i reached PD clinic, HT was carrying Javan on a weighing scale and Javan looked happy. We realised that Javan loves to scream when he's happy. He was screaming away and has his eyes on everything. Basically he's curious about everything just like when he's in his pram.
Back to PD
I explained the whole constipation thingy to Pd-Dr Keoy and seek his advise on what should be added/removed to have softer stool. I raised my doubt/concerned if it's due to the FM that he's taking?
Minutes later, pd put on his gloves with some cream on his last finger then he started to break his stool ...., he mentioned that he will need to clear his bowel, which is so hard that he really took some time and Javan was ok for the first minute, another minute javan was crying pathetically. When the poo finally came out (a part of it), it's really sooooo hard, pd said there are some more inside. Pd then inserted enema and told us to wait outside for 15mins to wait for Javan to Poo and clean him up then back to see him again.
15 minutes had gone by and Javan still did not poo, we went in to see pd again, this time round, pd inserted his last finger wif some cream again and Javan was crying uncontrollably, obviously in pain! Alot of hard stool came out together and Javan urinated on pd's table. Later we brought him out, clean and change him and he was still crying away.
Pd advise was to give half of the fruits and veggies of what Javan is taking now. He commented that it's too much fiber. He does not think that it's due to the formula milk that he is taking. Was asked to give Javan Firso comfort and stool softener for 1 week and he should be able to poo everyday without hard stool.
It's a new beginning today, hope he will be able to poo as per normal. So worried and heartpain.......
