Dear parent, I understand your concerns. you should give lactulose syrup 3 times daily to relieve constipation. to prevent occurrence of constipation you should make sure that the child is adequately hydrated with 8 cups of fluids daily including water, milk , juices and one of them should be orange juice. also make sure the child gets a high fiber diet including green vegetables, fruits and whole wheat biscuits
