CONSTIPATION:
EVIDENCE: With the white blood cell count normal and no
fever the chances of having surgery greatly decrease.  You
have evidence of constipation.  Constipation is a common
cause of abdominal pain, but sometimes causes no symptoms
at all.  Causes of constipation include certain
medications, dehydration, diets, and low-fiber intake. 
Rarely, it can be a symptom of underlying disease (the
physician has evaluated you for this).  THERAPY FOR
CONSTIPATION: In the future, constipation should be avoided
by eating a diet high in fiber, fruits, and vegetables. 
Drink plenty of liquids.  Stool softeners are often
recommended.  If possible, avoid constipating medicines
like narcotics.  Chronic use of laxatives or enemas is not
a good idea.  Your bowel may become dependant on them.
IF PROBLEMS: You should call the doctor or return for
re-evaluation if you pass blood in the stool, or if you
develop fever or increasing abdominal pain.

A good trial of prune juice is always a good start especially
in children.
