how to relieve constipation in child naturally - #24452

I am really worried about my little one. My 5-year-old has been struggling with constipation for a couple of weeks now, and it's really upsetting to see him like this. He tries to go but just ends up crying and saying it hurts. I've tried some things like increasing his water intake and I've even sneaked in some prunes into smoothies, but I'm not sure that's enough. I read online about how to relieve constipation in child naturally, but I'm not sure where to start. Honestly, it feels overwhelming! The pediatrician suggested some over-the-counter stuff, but I’d really prefer to do this naturally if possible. I remember my grandma saying something about warm baths and certain foods helping, but I can't quite recall what! Are there any effective remedies or tips on how to relieve constipation in child naturally that really work? I just want him to feel better and not dread using the bathroom. Any advice would be super appreciated, thanks!
