Fiber rich diet needs to be given.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking once again. Incidentally, constipation in children has become a very frequently encountered problem these days. The primary reason for the same is lack of adequate play and/or the lack of adequate amounts of fiber containing foods in diet.

As of now, giving a glycerine supporsitory or P-enema will help him pass stool and will clear him of his problems. However, you need to give a fibre rich diet. Wheat, corn, and rice XXXXXXX are high in insoluble fiber, which helps prevent constipation. XXXXXXX can be sprinkled into his favorite foods, from hot cereal and pancakes to muffins and cookies. Many popular high-fiber cereals and bars are also packed with XXXXXXX Beans really are the magical fruit. Miralax can be given. Isabgol (psyllium husk) or senna can also be given as fiber supplements.
Also consider going through the following list:

It is good to know that you make sure that he drinks plenty of water. But you also need to ensure that he goes to pass stool at a regular time every day (irrespective of whether he feels an urge to pass). This will demote stool holding habits and would promote regular bowel habits.
Let me know if I could help further.
