3 weeks into disimpaction but can’t get to thinner stools than gravy

My two year old is on the disimpaction regime and we’re now three weeks in. Done all the correct macrogol doses and still on 8 per day since day 7 (now day 21) and for the last two nights we’ve added one evening dose of 2.5ml Of sodium Pico. Still just gravy stools consistently. Do we keep going? Up the sodium pico?

thank you for this! As she’s age 2 what dose is safe to up the pico to? I’ve done one dose of 2.5ml before bed. Should this be 5ml tonight and every night?

You should ask your health care professional about doses, sorry

ring triple 1 and ask for advice from a go or a paediatric doctor I know I had to up my daughter to 5ml pico at age 2 n a half for the same thing but I’d always suggest asking a doctor x
