Quick Tips
Inform your doctor if you experience severe or long-lasting pain in your stomach. Give your child a diet that is rich in fiber and low in fermentable sugars. Avoid giving gas-producing foods to your child such as beans, onions, carrots, raisins, and bananas. Encourage your child to exercise daily as it has potential benefits in constipation and in improving overall wellbeing. In children less than 2 months of age, do not give Mefon Oral Drops without ruling out the reasons that might be making your child cry. Give Mefon Oral Drops only if your child shows actual signs of abdominal discomfort or pain after consulting your child’s doctor.
