3.5 year old constipated?

Question

My cousin has pooped 2 times today and both times it's weird looking pellets, is he constipated?

Answer 1

Give him Prune juice or Prune baby food - my kids loved the sweet taste too.

Answer 2

Sounds like constipation to me, yes. Raisins and additional liquids always help my toddler, very quickly, when he's constipated.

Answer 3

Yes, he sounds constipated. Prune juice is GREAT for constipation, and try to get him re-hydrated with water, pedialyte, juice, whatever he'll drink.

Answer 4

Yes. He needs a stool softener and more fiber. Tell his mom that he pooped like that.

EDIT:

Look at this p**p chart (drawings). lol

You'll be able to tell what level his p**p is on

Answer 5

Maybe, or he could be dehydrated. Try giving him some milk, pedialyte, 7up, sprite, or ginger ale. It should help if it's either of these problems.
