Constipation can sometimes occur as a side effect of medications like Relent and Levolin Plus. For a four-year-old, the gentlest first step is to increase his fluid intake with water or fruit juices, and offer fiber-rich foods. If he needs further relief, a mild osmotic laxative like lactulose is generally safe for children. However, please consult his pediatrician before giving him any laxative to ensure the correct dosage and safety.
