my son who is 2 years and 8 months has frequently been facing constipation issues. he cries in pain because of hard stools. i had kept suppository as suggested by a doctor. some weeks the motion is normal but some days it gets really hard. can I give some stool softeners for a few days so that he is able to pass stools normally? he eats fruits, drinks prune water, raisins, grapes and vegetables. it still doesn't help.
