Thanks for asking I have gone through your question. Your 18-month-old son is suffering from constipation. You have tried much medicine, and your concerned about side effect of medicine, I like to inform you that there is no major or long term side effect of above medicine.  I what to share some fact about treatment of constipation1. Give more of fiber rich diet like cereal and vegetables and give less of milk if giving more than 250 ml per day 2.PEG (active ingredient of lassoed powder) is treatment of choice for childhood constipation. The therapy may be required for 3-6 months. Adjust the dose of PEG according to bowel movement. Target is one soft stool per day. Never abruptly stop medicine. Decrease the slowly over the period of week time. 3. If your kid use western type of commode then make sure that his foot should touch the ground, if feet not touching ground then you should use some stool, so the feet rest of stool hope I answer your query wish healthy family life
