Will Mirialax Relieve Me From Stomach Pain And Nausea In A Lactating Mother?

I have tummy ache and nausia.. I think due to having to use stool softeners for 6 months now since the birth of my baby.. as I have had trouble with hemeroids and have a fissure. So I have medication to apply to the fissure for another 2 weeks and need to keep stools soft. Can I use Mirialax? I am breastfeeding... Can I have ondansatron? I have to get through the next few weeks with v soft stools but have lost a lot of weight and am really feeling awful!

Hi. Indeed you can continue with stool softener. Is there any other symptoms like loose motion or fever. see that there is no intestinal infection. Ondansatron may not be needed. Use Domperidone for nausea. Mirilax may help solve your problem. For fissure and piles. Have a sitz bath in a warm water without any addition to it. A course of antibiotic which is safe for lactating mothers such as cefixime or so as per advise of your Doctor may help for fissure and tummy pain.
