Suggest Cure For Severe Constipation

My 4yr old son suffers from constipation to the point of bleeding when he finally does. It has been four day and even though he take Miralaz daily and we gave him Castor Oil he is still not able to. I believe he affiliates pain with pooping. How can I help my son?
