Analogous to buying generic acetaminophen over Tylenol
Medication can help with the symptoms of a shit marriage, but without addressing the actual issues, it's just a bandaid. Think taking Tylenol for headaches instead of treating the brain tumor causing them.
The only over the counter medication I have ever needed for my child at that age is Paracetamol (Tylenol) suppositories
Tylenol also helps with the initial soreness at the injection site, so we gave it regardless of fever and it helped a lot. Also, infant Tylenol is 100% safe when given correctly, so it’s not necessary to give sparingly if it’s helping your baby.
You can give Tylenol (if peds is ok with it) once he seems grouchy, it takes like, 10 minutes to kick in. The liquid suspension works pretty quickly.

After two months straight of Colace, Miralax, bidet, a high-fiber diet, and Preparation H (the cream at first, and now the suppositories that work way better), it is FINALLY going down.
I just ended up taking colace my OB prescribed me after leaving the hospital until I could get my fiber/hydration back up
My doctor recommended colace so I’m taking that daily since Wednesday. It has made the rabbit poops I get a little easier to pass.
Zofran in the morning then unisom at night, along with the maximum dosage of colace 😅
Use stool softeners (I used both colace and miralax).
