Once, the parents even had to take him to the hospital. The doctor examined him

and asked me to get a fizzy orange drink and give it to him and wait for 20 minutes.

Low And behold, he passed his motion without any problem. Ever since then, this is

when you have constipation.

Though milk has proven to be bad for cold and cough, it has a soothing effect when

consecutive mornings. It always worked.
