Hello. Constipation in children may be due to lack of fibre in the food he takes or due to lack of toilet training. Rarely it could be because of hormonal problems like hypothyroidism.
Next Steps
1. plenty of water and fibre including green leafy vegetables to be given 2. seat the child in the toilet everyday twice whether or not he has the urge. also give him warm water especially on empty stomach prior to going to toilet 3. get thyroid function tests done
