Suggest Treatment For Persistent Constipation And Rectal Pain
my mother is 76 years old and she is having very bad constipation for the past 1 year. She consulted several gasteroentrologists but nothing helps her. currently I have taken her to Asian Institute of Gasteroentrology, Hyderabad, India, and the doc suggested the following meds -
pantocid 1 after breakfast
Normaxin 3 times daily
cremaffin 3 tsps before bed time
He also suggested her an anti-depressant - Fudoc to be taken once in a day
I started the meds yesterday (Indian Standard Time). Early this morning she threw up and she had no motion as usual. And she complains of stomach and rectal pain. Not sure if I should go ahead with the meds today or what? Just confused, tired and kind of hitting the dead end. Please help as early as possible.
Thanks a million
