Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Constipation

My son is 4 yrs old and has had stomach pain and constipation. The emergency room gave him a enema and it worked but he hasnt gotten regular since then and is crying alot. I have given him the Miralax and it doesnt seem to work. He has gone a little bit since the emergency room visit but not enough. He can sleep but when he wakes up he crys.

Hi,
It seems that he might be having absolute constipation giving this problem.
Continue giving Miralax for few days.
Give him enough water and liquids.
Give him more fiber containing food.
Temporary you can give some antispasmodic syrup for pain.
Ok and take care.
