Sometimes antibiotics can cause constipation too. Maybe the antibiotics are making the constipation worse

Stool softener and drink lots of water move around alot
Heating pad, benefiber, etc. High fiber foods, lots of water, and usually running around/activity helps gets the bowels moving.
Prunes or apples…everyone is built a little differently…but one or the other will work

My daughter had this problem bad. We had her see a Dr. At Children’s hospital of Philadelphia. Her runny would go around the hard stool. It broke my heart. They had endoscopy clean her out a few times. After give her medicine through her iv for the rest. There is a name for it encropesis.
Did they check her for UTI
Apple-prune juice works wonders for my kiddo when she’s stopped up. The Frida Baby Windi helps a lot too, but that really depends on their age. I don’t think they really work for kids over like 1 year.
Warm bath, price juice and patience.
Plus the meds…
Try getting her a toliet foot thing so she is in a different position pooping
Ex-lax helped our son. It looks like a piece of hersheys bar
Milk of magnesium or magnesium citrate can help and then I would suggest adding more water, fiber and probiotics

Massage that belly too. Look up constipation belly massages. They work wonders. The miralax will help soften it up. But if she’s still not going #2 take her back to the doctor.
Warm water with lemon. It will help it move
Sit her in a warm tub - put warm wash cloth on her head - when body is warm - it helps meds and body juice flow
Pear juice is the only thing that ever worked for my kids!
Ask your pediatrician or a nutritionist about good foods to add to her diet, like high fiber foods, bran, hot cereals, especially oatmeal, fruits, beans, and vegetables vs. meat & carbs. Cheese sometimes stops people up too.

Miralax. You can use off brand. The doctors let me 4 year old use it because she gets constipated occasionally. Thats the only thing that has worked for us. When she was roughly 2 and a half, I also had the ok from doctors to give it to her.
Prune juice. You can use it in many ways… frozen, in fruit salad, in other juices.
