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.
