Yes,
She could be given enema or laxative.
Lactulose 10 to 15 ml can be taken in night before sleep with half cup of water.
Apart from that giver her probiotics they will improve her overall digestion.
Take a lot of yogurt in diet.
Fresh vegetable salad and fruits should be taken regularly.
Take a lots of soluble fibres in diet.
Take Fybogel husk-Fybogel sachets and Fybogel Hi-Fibre sachets both contain the active ingredient ispaghula husk, which is a type of medicine called a bulk-forming laxative. Ispaghula is a type of fibre. It swells when it comes into contact with fluid in the gut and thus increases the volume of the faeces.It increases the bulk in your stool, an effect that helps to cause movement of the intestines. It also works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass.

There is no magical formula things will take time to get better.
