Constipation is a very common problem in pediatric OPD these days. Anti-vomit drug wouldn't cause constipation as side effect for so long. And giving duphalac like this is not the right approach.
You should visit a pediatrician/pediatric gastroenterologist to look for the cause . Majority of the cases resolve with treatment and diet modification.
