Dear parent , you can use lactulose syrup 3 times daily to treat constipation.. in the meanwhile, you should make sure that he drinks enough fluids daily (at least 8 cups daily with one of them should be orange juice) .
also you should make sure he is eating high fiber diet with increased portions of green vegetables and bran
