Constipation is usually because of less undigested food matter. Give plenty of fruits and vegetables with each meal or in between meals. Also give food containing whole grains and unpolished and non processed food.
For early relief of pain, child has to pass stool, for which a suppository or enema can be given under supervision of your pediatrician.
