My daughter is 4 and is complaining that her bum hurts
My daughter is 4 and is complaining that her bum hurts.I tried to sit her in the toilet so she can go and she tries but nothing comes out ,so i check her bottom and it looks like her poop is very soft and its leaks a little bit when its opened.What can i do ?
Best Answer
I would try treating it as constipation and see if that helps. Have her drink plenty of water, and eat certain fruits like apples, grapes, peaches, prunes, etc. Hope that helps...

As you treat her for constipation, also follow her around and see if when she try to sit, she sits sideways, only part of her bottom on a chair. Perhaps she fell down while playing, check for bruising at the end of her tail bone.
If she still hurts after having a bowel movement and/or within 24 hr period, try to massage her bottom, as you know we adults get sore sometimes even if we haven't hurt ourselves.
As a mother of two playful boys, and having a chiropractor for a husband, massaging your child's bottom help them relax, sometimes they need neck and back adjustment as well as a back massage just like adults.
Be sure your daughter drink plenty of fluids at all times water helps with aches and pains to anyone at any age.
Good luck and I am here if you need more help.
