Hi,
It is nothing to worry about. It is important to avoid constipation. Therefore, increase the water intake. A good schedule for drinking water is advisable. Avoid medicine which is not indicated, sorbitol liquid can be used as a stool softener.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
