It's a common problem at this age. Usually due to low fiber in the diet. Increase intake of fruits, leafy vegetables and water should help. Medicines are used temporarily till proper diet is implemented. If the child has blood in stools or distension of abdomen or loosing weight see your nearest Pediatric Surgeon.
