| Pepto-bismol is for use when the bowels are loose, not if he is already "stopped up" then it would be the wrong thing to do. He might need a mild laxative, but he might not. How long has he had this tummy ache? If it keeps up, you might need to take him to the ER. It could be appendicitis. Oh, and a diuretic is to increase kidney function. It is not used to increase bowel action. A diuretic might also make constipation worse. |
