Try to give more of fibre rich diet green leafy vegetables to the child water to the child liquids to the child on an every day basis I heard that buttermilk is a very good option for constipation also tried to give buttermilk to your child at least two times in a day and a papaya should definitely be there in the diet of your child in the morning
