How Can Constipation Be Cured?

I have had constipation for four days and have thus taken entrolax for the last two days and despite releasing a lot, it s mostly liquid with drops of solid. The issue is, I have not eaten or drank anything for days because I don t need to so it would seem my stomach is still full even with the laxatives. I am not sure as to what I should do now?

Hi welcome to health care magic....

Here in your case first any organic cause if present should be ruled out....

For that investigation with USG or chest x ray needed

If any organic cause present than treated accordingly...

If needed for infection broad spectrum suitable antibiotic can be given...

If no specific cause present than for functional constipation dulcolax like drug can be given..

Drink more water

Avoid excess gas forming cabbage, cauliflower,high protein diet, onion etc like foods....

Fiber food like whole grain, wheat bran , fruits taken more

Consult physician for examination

Take care
