Hello
I have noted that most of laxative are irritant type in nature and produces intestine movement , so stool passes .
They ( laxative ) also produces hyperacidity , if taken in abundant amount .
However this is self limiting , once all the laxative passed from the intestine , you will get relief.
So in my opinion don't worry , take curd , rice and banana ( help in loose motion).
Still no relief then consult a doctor and take intravenous Ringer lactate infusion.
Good luck.
