Suggest Treatment For Constipation Despite Taking Laxatives
My mom is having constipation problems. She has a cold currently and low grade fever. She is passing small amounts each day but is having pain especially at night. We have a doctors appointment friday. Family doctor. We got over the counter stool softer and laxative herbal tea. But it does not seem to help much.
Hello, in order to make the stool soft, the best approavh is multidimentional. Keep your mom mobile as much as possible. Make her go for a walk and have exercise as a part of dialy routine. Besides, diet poor in fats and roch in fibres is highly recommended. It grossly includes the vegetables. Moreover, water intake should be increased each day. Sodium picosulphate syrup should do the job, taking twice or thrice a day.
