Remove Comfortip from rectum and keep child in position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 1 to 5 minutes).

If no urge is felt after 5 minutes of using, have your child try to empty bowel. Call a doctor promptly if no liquid comes out of the child’s rectum after 30 minutes because dehydration could occur.
