How should persistent pediatric constipation and newly identified external anal fissures be managed when they developed following a course of antibiotics and remain unresolved despite daily use of Milk of Magnesia and topical sucralfate cream?

It is quite common for antibiotics to disrupt a toddler's gut, leading to constipation and painful fissures. Since the Milk of Magnesia and sucralfate cream aren't fully resolving the issue, please consult your pediatrician. They can safely adjust the magnesium hydroxide dose or suggest an alternative stool softener to ensure his stools are very soft, allowing the fissure to heal. In the meantime, offering plenty of fluids, fiber-rich foods, and warm, soothing baths can help relax his muscles and ease his discomfort.
