My 3years old son is having constipation. what do i do?

Laxative: Use a children's laxative. If you need to do this over and over then use a stool softener daily. The best one is miralax (polyethylene glycol). Some kids can control recurring constipation by increasing fruits in the diet. If that is the case, then you might be able to get by without medications.
