Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
It is not good to use suppository regularly.You should give him food which contains fibres and encourage a natural bowel movement.You can pour warm water above anal sphincter,it helps in getting bowel movement in some kids.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
