Giving Colicaid daily to stop stomachache is not the way to go. U have to treat the underlying root cause which is constipation. Increase fibre intake n water intake n reduce milk n maida intake. She will have to take long-term constipation medicine, diet-fluid management n retraining bowel movement for complete cure.
Next Steps
Can consult online for same
