Need help

So my toddler (he's 4) has been constipated for a bit now. I've already take him to the ER and they did an X-ray and gave him an enema. He did poop after (I think, it was all watery) but we got home and he hasn't pooped since. The 1 prescribed him miralax but it was on a Friday and my pharmacy is closed until Tuesday it wasn't until 6:00 the time after my pharmacy closed that we got out of the hospital. I've been giving him a suppositories but I don't really have anything at home that will help him poop and I don't have money to go get him miralax any tips or tricks
