Hi
Constipation is a lifestyle disease..it needs a multidimensional approach..if not passing stool for a longer period with stomach pain..better to visit a pediatrician and get relieved with either suppository or enema..later on the home medicines would help..
Next Steps
Make sure you are giving atleast 3 fruits 2 vegetables every day..Green leafy vegetable in diet..Atleast 1 hr of physical activity..decrease screen time if any..and milk to a lesser quantity

Piclin syrup is harmful and has many side effects. Better to avoid.
Next Steps
Better to use Laxopeg fc or Muout syrup as they are gentle on the gut. They need to be used for some time before gradually weaning off
