How Can Constipation And Groin Pain Be Treated?

I am having constipation after taking keflex antibiotic, five days of 4pills a day 500mg pills. .I took some probiotics 4days after last pill of keflex. 20 billion of bifido strains and 1.5 billion of lacto strains.For the last 8 days I have stained very hard to initiate movement and I am concerned with groin pain in lower left area that may be a hernia that I had prior to taking keflex.2 days of stool softener is helping slightly so far. Lower left groin hurts upon sneezing.Any suggestions?
