Yes, it is generally safe to use Duphalac (lactulose) daily for two months under your doctor's guidance. Since lactulose is an osmotic laxative, it works by drawing water into your bowel to soften your stool, and it is not habit-forming. Keeping your stool soft is crucial to allow that painful tear to heal properly. As your thyroid medication begins to regulate your system, your natural bowel habits should gradually improve. Please keep your doctor updated on your progress to ensure you heal comfortably.

The green fluid and suspected strictures point to a physical narrowing in her intestines, which explains her feeding difficulties. While lactulose (Duphalac) can sometimes cause gas, the main issue is this narrowing. Surgery is often the safest and most effective path to repair these strictures, allowing her digestive tract to heal so she can feed comfortably and grow stronger. Please trust her neonatal team and ask them to walk you through the surgical plan step-by-step. They are highly specialized in helping brave little ones through these exact challenges.

Since Duphalac hasn't provided relief, you can try applying an over-the-counter generic hydrocortisone or lidocaine ointment directly to the area to soothe pain and reduce inflammation. Soaking in a warm bath (sitz bath) for 15 minutes a few times a day can also greatly relieve discomfort. Please continue drinking plenty of water and eating fiber-rich foods.

Please continue to drink plenty of water and eat fiber-rich foods. Always keep your OB-GYN updated on your symptoms, but rest assured that managing your constipation safely is a wonderful step for your comfort and your baby's well-being.

Since it has been four days without a bowel movement and the Duphalac (lactulose) syrup plus home remedies aren't helping, it is best to consult your pediatrician. They can safely evaluate your baby to ensure there is no severe blockage and recommend the correct dosage or alternative treatments. In the meantime, try giving gentle tummy massages in a clockwise direction and warm baths to help relax their muscles. Keep offering small sips of water, but please avoid giving any more medications without a doctor's guidance.
