Brief Answer:
It advisable to seek medical help if there is no improvement soon.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

welcome to healthcaremagic.

I understand your question.

You seem to be suffering from constipation.

You can try miralax or duphalac syrup for this condition.

If you don't see any improvement within a day, it is best to consult a gastroenterologist and get yourself examined to find out the exact cause for constipation.

I hope that answers your query, please feel free to write back to me if you have additional concerns.

Best regards.

Miralax doesn't work for me. I haven't tried duphalac syrup. It is better today than yesterday. I don't go to Doctors until I have to.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ms XXXXXXX

Thank you for writing back to me.

It is good to hear that you are doing better.

Duphalac contains methyl cellulose, and it is a good medicine for constipation, I am sure it will work for you.

However, if you face this issue repeatedly, then one has to think of the possible reasons for it and one of the reasons is colon cancers.

So, considering your age, it would be prudent to get yourself evaluated once to rule out any malignancy.

For the time being though, duphalac should suffice.

Thank you again for using the service, I hope I have been able to help you to some extent. Please close the discussion and rate the answer if you have no further questions.

Best regards.
