Give plenty of water to drink. Give orange juice with sugar added. Give lactulose or PEG solutions as a last remedy. Dilate the anal canal by applying xylocaine ointment by little finger.

Hi,
Give fruits mashed, instead of juices. Give green leafy vegetables and water frequently.
Avoid biscuits and cows milk.
