As a mother of 2 year old, I would suggest you whatever solutions i ise.. whenever I feel my son is constipated I prefer to increase his fluid and fibre intake such as coats, cucumber and more fruits and salad.. Also, i soak raisins at night and give that water to my son in the morning that also helps in constipation

hi
instead of medicine , you can try some homemade remedies like:
give fiber rich food like spinach soup, tomatoes soup, sesame seeds, fruits like pear papaya plum banana etc to your child which help to make stool soft and easy to pass.
keep your child well hydrated
encourage your child to do more physical activities.
you can give Massage to your child everyday which can help in this.
for example
give Massage on stomach in clockwise direction with firm hands.
move your child legs in cycling motions.
