Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
If you are experiencing constipation there are a couple of different over-the-counter remedies which will likely provide good relief.
One option is Dulcolax. This comes in a tablet that you can take two or three times a day as needed.
Another option is MiraLAX. This typically comes in a powder which can be mixed with water and then consumed.
In addition it is important that you maintain good hydration and it's with your fruits and vegetables. This will help to maintain regularity. If despite the use of over-the-counter medications you still have constipation after a few days then you should contact your primary care doctor for further discussion.
